Fentimans Dandelion & Burdock

Brand History and Production

Fentimans is a premium British brand renowned for its traditional botanical brewing methods. Founded in 1905 by Thomas Fentiman in Cleckheaton, England, the brand's unique character began with a recipe for botanically brewed ginger beer given to Thomas as security for a loan. Over a century later, the company remains famous for its multi-stage brewing process, which involves fermenting natural botanical ingredients for seven days to achieve a deep and complex flavor profile.

Ownership and Distribution

Fentimans remains a family-owned business, currently under the leadership of Eldon Robson, the great-grandson of the founder. Unlike many heritage beverage brands that have been acquired by global conglomerates, Fentimans Ltd continues to operate independently from its headquarters in Hexham, Northumberland. The products are manufactured in the United Kingdom and exported to various international markets, maintaining their reputation as a high-quality, craft alternative to mass-produced soft drinks.
