Brewed on Mann First Day Cover

Inside, a printed insert provides expert commentary on the history of Manx brewing. Highlights include the Pure Beer Act, which set strict standards for beer production in the 19th century and remains in force today, and Dr William Okell, a pioneering brewer whose Falcon Brewery laid the foundations for 175 years of brewing excellence. Modern breweries such as Bushy’s, celebrating 40 years in 2025, demonstrate the Island’s ongoing commitment to quality and innovation.

Other stamps depict iconic locations like the Mitre Pub in Kirk Michael, historic bottles from defunct breweries, and the evolution of brewing equipment and packaging. This First Day Cover is a must-have collectible for philatelists and anyone passionate about Manx history or brewing. Beautifully presented and rich in cultural significance, it offers a unique way to commemorate the Island’s vibrant brewing story.
