elcome to the North American home of Fentimans. We’re here to make it easier for you to find our Botanically Brewed Beverages across the pond.
If you would like to visit the UK website, visit www.fentimans.com. Otherwise, read on for information about our Product Range and where you can purchase them in the former Colonies. Using only the finest ingredients from traditional recipes, our Botanically Brewed Beverages are, to this day, a step back in time.
In 1905 Thomas Fentiman, and iron puddler from Cleckheaton, was approached by a fellow tradesman for a loan. A deal was struck and some security was provided - in this case a recipe for botanically brewed ginger beer. The loan was never repaid, so Thomas became the owner of a unique and rather original recipe for success.
Originally, Fetimans Botanically Brewed Beverages were delivered in stone jars called “Grey Hens” and fermentation continued through door-to-door delivery. Thanks to Thomas' Fentiman's great-grandson, Eldon Robson, beautiful glass bottles have taken over the stone jars and pasturisation has given our natural sodas a longer life.
Today, every Fentimans Beverage is still made in the time-honoured tradition by brewing and fermenting herbs and milled roots over seven days. (This compares to hours production time for typical soft drinks.) Under the watchful eyes of Thomas Fentiman’s faithful prize Alsatian, Fearless, who still adorns the labels, our trademark recipes contain the unfiltered goodness of their natural ingredients. So upending the bottle before enjoying is always in order for a fuller, more invigorating taste that is ‘once tasted, never forgotten’.
Product Info: Botanically Brewed Beverages - Natural Sodas
Though we prefer to call our products Botanically Brewed Beverages because they are like none other, they are classified as sodas or soft drinks. Naturally fermented, they contain less than 1/2% alcohol, so they may be enjoyed by all ages and offered by every retail outlet, restaurant, pub, hotel or...well, anyone.
 Our original, we use only the finest ingredients, such as premium ginger root from the bazaars of Shanghai, with choice juniper and yarrow extracts from around the globe. Our process starts by fermenting milled ginger root, which goes a long way in explaining the wonderful ginger "tickle & burn" experienced on the first sip. If you like Ginger, you’ll love our Ginger Beer!

 A stimulating recipe of herbal ingredients, recreating an apothecary’s cola of yesteryear that is both full-bodied and curiously invigorating. Curious? Then you'll just have to give it a try!

 We squeeze the juice of one and a half lemons into every bottle and blend it with fine ginger root, speedwell and juniper extracts. This is a lemonade like your nana used to make, a real thirst quencher like non-other!

 Premium hops and malted barley are brewed and fermented before adding natural lemon juice to create this full-bodied British soda that is 70% beer. There's no skimping here. Cheers!

 Jigger is an old English term for good measure, which we use when we combine the juice of three mandarins and the zest of Seville orange in every bottle. The added botanicals of speedwell, juniper extract and fermented ginger then conspire to stimulate your senses. Pure refreshment!

 Full-strength infusions of Dandelion leaves and Burdock root, sweetened with pear juice and spiced with a touch of ginger and anise all intermingle for this traditional English soda favourite. Exquisite!
