Description
Established in 1990, Otter Brewery began brewing its beer from a farmhouse location in the heart of Devon’s Blackdown Hills. Since then, the whole family has been involved in developing our award-winning range of beers and our widely recognised Otter brand.

With over five generations of brewers in the family, the building of Otter Brewery was, and still is, without a doubt, a labour of love. We believe this is why our beer tastes so great and why more and more people are drinking it. Our product offering is constantly evolving to suit the needs of both traditional and modern ‘craft’ drinkers. A range that provides something for everyone.

By 2003, we realised that we were rapidly outgrowing our original production facilities and we took the plunge to invest in a fantastic new, state of the art, brewery and cellar – both of which are award-winning in their own right. The business still occupies the same rural site and now the old brewery barns are used to feed the troops rather than brew beer. In 2007 we built the underground cellar which was certainly the first of its scale in Devon.

Most importantly, all our growth has been organic and we remain proud to be family run.

Cask at the White Swan, Solihull. Poured a clear medium amber, with a lasting frothy white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is malt, light toffee. The flavour is moderate to light bitter and sweet, with a smooth, rich, yeasty, malt, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a dark chocolate brown with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s honey and fruit in the nose, plus suggestions of yeast. It the mouth it is slightly sweet with as creamy texture with flavours of malts, toffee and autumn fruits plus hints of liquorice and a dollop of alcoholic strength. Finish is bitter and sticky. It’s OK, but a bit strange.
