In 1905, 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.

Botanical Brewing is a process that combines the infusion, skilful blending and fermentation of natural ingredients over 7 days. The result is a range of deliciously crafted drinks that have a depth of taste and unsurpassed quality.

120 years after acquiring the Ginger Beer recipe, Fentimans is still owned by the Great Grandson of Thomas Fentiman, and still Botanically Brewing premium quality drinks using the knowledge and expertise that has been passed on from generation to generation.
