A beer from the Isle of Man

On the Isle of Man there is a Manx brewery, and it goes without saying that this brewery organises various activities during TT week. At various locations around the island, alongside the circuit, there are so-called beer tents run by Bushy's Ale of Man, which had its 40th anniversary in 2025.
To mark this happy occasion, the Manx Post has issued a semi-official sheet of eight self-adhesive stamps, featuring a view of the Douglas promenade, where the Bushy Café itself can be found.

The complete stamp sheet

On the stamp itself we only see feasting visitors.

However, the A4 sheet also includes eight labels, and on these we can find motorbikes. For those who collect everything that is motorcycle related, this is therefore a nice addition to the collection.

The label in the top right-hand corner features the famous stunt team, the Purple Helmets, who performed their stunts during the TT and GP. Their last performance was in 2022. The image shows a newlywed couple's wedding procession through Douglas in the Bushy's Beer Bottle car.

Every year, a different label is designed for TT Week, featuring a fox on a motorbike. The 2018 label is also depicted on the stamp sheet.

The pack in which the sheet is supplied includes a poster featuring all the label designs from over the years.

You'll also receive a set of coasters featuring the types of beer brewed at Bushy's.
