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.

Bottle online from The Otter Brewery. Pours a murky light chestnut colour with one finger thick creamy off-white head. Aroma is very malty with lots of toffee and caramel and doughy bread. Taste is again very malty, lots more toffee and caramel, toasty bread, some biscuity notes, a touch of honey and a very light earthy hop on the otherwise malty finish. Medium to full body, low carbonation and smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Very good Beer.
