About Okells - BREWING TRADITION SINCE 1850


Okell's award winning brewery has been producing the finest ales for over 150 years. Situated in the Isle of Man, the brewery nestles in the unique countryside of the island with its mountain springs, rolling glens and pure shores.

The Isle of Man is internationally recognised for its natural produce, and all our beers are brewed in accordance with the Island's famous Brewing Purity Laws which, similar to the Bavarian Beer Laws, forbid the use of any additives as a substitute for the natural brewing ingredients of malt, sugar and hops.
