Fentimans is a renowned British beverage company that specializes in producing high-quality botanical beverages. Founded in 1905 by Thomas Fentiman, the company has a rich history and a commitment to using traditional brewing methods to create unique and flavorful drinks.

History

Thomas Fentiman, an ironworker from Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, began producing botanical beverages in 1905. His first creation was a ginger beer, which he made using a recipe he obtained from a fellow tradesman. Fentiman's ginger beer quickly gained popularity due to its distinct flavor and superior quality.

In the early years, Fentiman brewed his beverages in stone jars, known as "stone ginger beer bottles," which were sealed with a cork and a hand-applied paper label. This traditional brewing method allowed the flavors to develop and mature over time, resulting in a truly unique taste.

Over the years, Fentimans expanded its product range to include other botanical beverages such as traditional lemonade, cola, and tonic water. The company's commitment to using only the finest natural ingredients and traditional brewing techniques has remained unchanged throughout its history.
