Brewed on Mann

Brewed on Mann captures the fascinating history of brewing on the Isle of Man through eight beautifully designed stamps. The collection explores the Island’s distinctive brewing heritage, from early household and monastery brewing to the commercialisation of beer in the 18th and 19th centuries. Central to this story is the Pure Beer Act, first introduced in 1827 and updated in 1874, which set strict standards to ensure beer was brewed using only water, malt, hops and yeast - legislation still enforced today.

About this issue

Brewed on Mann captures the fascinating history of brewing on the Isle of Man through eight beautifully designed stamps. The collection explores the Island’s distinctive brewing heritage, from early household and monastery brewing to the commercialisation of beer in the 18th and 19th centuries. Central to this story is the Pure Beer Act, first introduced in 1827 and updated in 1874, which set strict standards to ensure beer was brewed using only water, malt, hops and yeast - legislation still enforced today.

The stamps also highlight key figures and breweries that have shaped Manx brewing. Dr William Okell, a visionary brewer, established the Falcon Brewery and championed the Pure Beer Act, laying foundations for 175 years of brewing excellence. Bushy’s Brewery, celebrating 40 years in 2025, brought fresh energy to the Island’s beer scene, supporting local barley production and drawing enthusiasts from around the world.

Other stamps depict iconic sites such as the Mitre Pub in Kirk Michael, historic bottles from breweries no longer trading, and the evolution of packaging from earthenware to modern cans. Available in mint sets, Presentation Packs, and First Day Covers, Brewed on Mann offers collectors and enthusiasts the opportunity to explore and celebrate a rich element of Manx culture.
