Fentimans have a rich history of Botanically Brewing premium quality drinks with knowledge and expertise that has been passed on from generation to generation of the Fentimans' family.

It all began in 1905, when Thomas Fentiman, an iron puddler from Cleckheaton, England, was approached by a fellow tradesman for a loan. A deal was struck and a recipe for Botanically Brewed Ginger Beer was provided as security. The loan was never repaid so Thomas became the owner of the unique recipe, which he began using to produce Fentimans Ginger Beer.

Thomas sold his Botanically Brewed Ginger Beer door to door via horse and cart in ceramic jars known affectionately as GREY HENS. Originally there was no company logo. Instead, the Grey Hens carried the surnames of family members.

However in time this changed... The dog that now proudly guards every Fentimans bottle is Fearless, Thomas' faithful dog, who won a couple of Crufts competitions in her time! Her portrait is still the logo to this day and she proudly guards Fentimans; head office, Fearless House!

You can see Fearless with the current owner's mother Marjorie here!

Over 100 years since Fentimans first Botanically Brewed their soft drinks, the business is still in the Fentimans family and is owned by the Great Grandson of Thomas Fentiman, Eldon Robson.

The team still make Fentimans drinks to the highest standards, botanically brewed of course, as flavour creator Paddy explains with Fentimans Rose Lemonade.
