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.

Cask, GBBF. Dark brown color, hardly any head. Slight caramel aroma. Caramel, coffee and just a hint of slat in the flavor. Sweetish and thin. Nasty fishy aftertaste.

Handpull cask at Thomas Rigby's, Liverpool. As Okell IPA. Brownish gold, clead with a decent white head. Hay, angel food cake and a good dollop of sulphur in the aroma. Bitteraweet taste with some tannic hop and a medicinal astringent twinge in the finish. Astringent bitterness lingers in the aftertaste. A basic, clean and enjoyable bitter.

Handpull cask at the Lady of Mann, Liverpool. Light brown and clear with a healthy off-white head. Slightly woody and malty aroma: light toasty notes with some very mild sulphur. Clean bittersweet flavour with crystal malt on the tongue. A very simple basic bitter.
