Fentimans Curiosity Cola

Fentimans Curiosity Cola is a premium, botanically brewed soft drink originally hailing from the United Kingdom. Founded in 1905 by Thomas Fentiman in Cleckheaton, England, the brand is famous for its traditional production methods that include fermenting natural ginger root and herbal infusions. While the brand is deeply rooted in British heritage and has long been produced in the UK, it has expanded its global footprint through strategic partnerships.

In North America, Fentimans products found in Canada are typically produced locally under a licensing or distribution agreement with Inform Brokerage Inc., based in Burnaby, BC. This allows the brand to maintain its high-quality standards while reducing the carbon footprint of trans-Atlantic shipping. For the rest of the world, much of the production remains centered in the United Kingdom.

In a major corporate shift in early 2026, the long-standing family-owned business was acquired by the Scottish soft drinks giant A.G. Barr plc, the makers of Irn-Bru. This acquisition, completed in January 2026, marked the end of over a century of direct family ownership by the descendants of Thomas Fentiman, placing the brand under the umbrella of one of Britain's most prominent beverage conglomerates to fuel further international growth.
