“We are honored that Fentimans was chosen by some of the leading epicurean judges in the industry,” said Craig James, CEO of Fentimans North America. “The Ginger Beer is our flagship soda and is brewed & fermented over 7 days for amazing aroma and flavour.  The product submitted incorporates our new 4-pack design and production in Pennsylvania, so we are very pleased to receive this recognition.” Fentimans was established by Thomas Fentiman in 1905 in Northern England and is now headed up in the UK by the founder’s great-grandson, Eldon Robson. In 2006, Craig James and his partner, Napoleon Veltri, began importing Fentimans into Canada and were so delighted with its success that they established a company to produce and market the beverages in North America. Fentimans can now be found at leading gourmet stores, restaurants, bars and hotels worldwide. To learn more, visit www.DrinkFentimans.com or www.fentimans.com.
