A tour of the Otter Brewery in East Devon, conducted by head brewer Keith Bennett.

The Otter Brewery was founded in 1990 by David and Mary Ann McCaig, and is still run by the same family. It was converted from an abandoned farm on the outskirts of the village of Luppitt, near the town of Honiton, in East Devon.

They make a range of cask ales, including one of my favourites: Otter Bitter - and their beers are available in many pubs in Devon, and throughout the South West and further afield - even at a few pubs in London!
