Fentiman's Ginger Beer is a carbonated tonic made with ginger, of course, along with other delightful natural things like pear juice, yarrow and juniper. Fentiman's is a British company but their refreshingly unique beverages are available at places like Cost Plus World Market in the States (or the "former Colonies" as their North American website reminds us), should you wish to sample Fentiman's Ginger Beer or Curiosity Cola, or perhaps their Shandy or Victorian Lemonade. I've noticed that some people and the Fentiman's website describe this drink as pleasantly pungent, with a "tickle and burn" effect, but that taste is nothing compared to the more intense assault of Goya's Jamaican Ginger Beer. That's a total ginger mule kick with some spicy pepper thrown in for good measure, and I would say it's really only for true ginger fans like me who want to feel the fire and/or who can't resist the colorful parrot on the bottle.
