Fentimans Dandelion & Burdock is a botanically brewed British classic. The UK’s answer to root beer this potent and authentic soft drink is a big hit of nostalgia. With its fruity character and notes of liquorice and aniseed it has an unmistakable profile and a pleasing sense of yesteryear. Interestingly despite all the playground scaremongering dandelion is a rich source of vitamin A vitamin C iron and zinc and has been eaten for thousands of years as a natural remedy for all kinds of health issues. Serve it over lashings of ice or take it on a picnic.
In 1905 Thomas Fentiman – an iron puddler from Cleckheaton in West Yorkshire – was asked for a loan by fellow tradesman. Security was provided by a recipe for a botanically brewed ginger beer. The loan was never repaid so Thomas Fentiman found himself with a unique recipe and decided to run with it. Well he actually sold it door-to-door using a horse and cart. In the 1930s Thomas’ dog Fearless won the obedience class at Crufts. So he put her portrait on his bottles. The world may have changed a lot since then but Fentimans not so much. Today the business is owned by Thomas Fentiman’s great grandson and they still botanically brew their soft drinks for a superior flavour. They bottle in glass rather than stone jars now but Fearless is still prominent on each and every one.
