Customer Reviews Write ReviewProduct Details
Fentimans 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. Their 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 their Ginger Beer!
Using only the finest ingredients from traditional recipes, their Botanically Brewed Beverages are, to this day, a step back in time.
Ingredients
Fermented ginger root extract, (water, ginger root, wort syrup, yeast) carbonated water, sugar, glucose syrup, natural flavouring (ginger, speedwell, juniper and yarrow extracts), pear juice concentrate, cream of tartar, citric acid.
Other Information
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’.

Advice

I recently bought a bottle of Fentimans ginger beer when on holiday in England and was immediately transported back to my childhood when i used to make ginger beer and store it in beer bottles. Needless to say I drank many more bottles before the end of the holiday and bored my family with my memories. The taste appeared to be identical and I have resolved to return home and try to produce more of my childhood home brew.

Please use a proper screw top - what you're using rips your hand when you try to open/unscrew.

I bought a bottle of your gingerbeer three weeks ago and WOW it was wonderful. Just like my mum and dad used to make when I was a child. Have not tasted a commercial brand as good.

Delicious! Very good for a dodgy tum too. attractive bottle, ideal for the party guest who may be driving as the alcohol content is very tiny but you have a special drink.

Had some for the first time in Whitby, what a wonderful drink. the right balance between sweet and sour with a good strong kick of ginger aftertaste to leave a warm satisfying glow.
