Description
Beer for purists. Pure & Simple. Here, amidst the pure shores and rolling glens of the Isle of Man, Okell's has been defined by our beautiful Island for over 170 years and guided, in all that we brew, by its unique Brewing Purity Law.

Dr. William Okell, a Cheshire surgeon, started Okell's Brewery in Castle Hill, Douglas, Isle of Man in 1850. He was a man of singular drive and ambition - by 1874 Dr. Okell owned many of the pubs on the island, had convinced Tynwald (the Isle of Man's parliament), to create an act ensuring the purity of beer brewed on the Isle of Man, and built The Falcon Steam Brewery just outside Douglas.

It's A Continuing Tradition...
We care about the beers we make, and for our Head Brewer Kevin Holmes, it's a never ending passion to create the perfect pint of Okell's. Making the perfect pint from only 4 ingredients is a special skill handed down by generations of Master Brewers.

Continuing our tradition of innovation, Okell's has the only wide gap plate and frame heat exchanger for heating the wort in the Copper in the British Isles.

Bottle from B&M. Light haze. Golden. Thin, clingy, white head. Sweet malt. Light, grassy hop. A little butteriness. Taste has biscuit sweetness first off, then grassy dry. Palate has a light oiliness. Finish is grassy bitter. Decent enough.

Bottle from B&M. Clear gold. Thickish, tight, white, lasting head. Looks good. Buttery, bready, and a bit grassy. Taste is light dry. Thin palate. More of the buttery thing. Lacks oomph. Canโ€™t complain too much, though, at just over a quid a pop.

Bottle from Belfast. Golden in the glass, hoppy nose. The beer starts smooth, typical wheat-beer with fresh hoppy aroma. Very dry, nice bitter, interesting.
