Otter Creek Brewing is microbrewery located in Middlebury, Vermont. It produces two lines of beer: Otter Creek Craft Ales and Wolaver's Certified Organic Ales.

The company began in March 1991, selling its first keg of Copper Ale. In 1994 it outgrew its original site and moved to a new brewery down the road. By 1998, Otter Creek began producing Wolaver’s Certified Organic Ales in partnership with the Panorama Brewing Company. In May 2002 the Wolaver family purchased Otter Creek Brewing, which remains a family owned Vermont company and produces all of Otter Creek and Wolaver’s brands for distribution. Wolavers was originally a beer marketing company in Nevada City, California.

Otter Creek brews and bottles all of its beers in small batches and uses natural Vermont water, domestic malts and hops, and its own top-fermenting yeast. All the Wolaver’s styles are certified organic by Vermont Organic Farmers, and features wheat and oats grown locally in Addison County, Vermont. Otter Creek Brewing produced approximately 30,000 barrels of beer in 2005, and distributed in 22 States.
