Fentimans is a British soft drinks brand with roots stretching back to 1905, when Thomas Fentiman, an iron puddler from Cleckheaton, England, received a ginger beer recipe as payment for a loan. What began as a modest family venture in Northumberland grew over the course of more than a century into one of the United Kingdom's most recognised names in premium botanically brewed beverages. The brand has remained family-oriented throughout much of its history, passing recipes and traditions down through generations before being acquired by the makers of Irn-Bru for approximately £38 million. Fentimans is best known for its botanically brewed soft drinks and mixers, a production method that sets the brand apart from conventional soft drink manufacturers. Rather than brewing beer or fermenting malt and hops, Fentimans uses botanical ingredients and a traditional brewing process to craft premium quality non-alcoholic beverages. Their range includes ginger beer, tonics, and fruit-infused sodas such as pink grapefruit tonic water, which have become popular across the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States, where distribution is handled by Artisanal Imports. In 2025, Fentimans celebrated 120 years of business, a milestone that underscores the brand's enduring appeal. Their drinks are widely available in retail outlets, bars, and restaurants across the UK and beyond, frequently appearing alongside craft beers and premium spirits as a mixer of choice.
