When Francis Hartridge first brewed our Celebrated Ginger Beer he 'bottled' it in 8 or 16 pint, stone jars that had a wooden tap at the bottom of the jar for easy dispensing.
Our Ginger Beer is not too 'fiery' or 'hot in the throat' but is subtle with a smooth flavour and is the perfect accompaniment to all food.
We have carried on using the finest ingredients that my great grandfather first used three centuries ago.
Our Celebrated Ginger Beer is made using only natural flavourings. It does not contain any artificial colourings or preservatives and is gluten free.
Originally formulated during American Colonial times, Root Beer was first commercially introduced to the public in 1876 in Philadelphia, U.S.A. My great grandfather Francis Hartridge was a brewer in America during this time and certainly would have tasted and experimented with other early root beers.
The Root Beer has been adapted from Francis' early experiences from America with it's subtle flavours.

In 1882 my great grandfather first made our Cloudy Lemonade for the local farm workers to quench their thirst during the long hot days in the fields, especially when bringing in the hay.
It was dispensed from stone jars. We have continued in Francis' footsteps as our cloudy Lemonade is still made using only the finest ingredients and never anything artificial, that is why it tastes so good!
