Considering the sad passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who ruled for longer than any other Monarch in British history, the Black Velvet seemed a proper tribute honoring the Queen’s memory.
The Black Velvet was first served in 1861 as a tribute to another British Royal, Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria, after his death of typhoid fever. It was created after a steward at Brook’s Club in London ordered that even Champagne should be in mourning, dressed in all black.
Prince Albert was famously supportive of the working class whom he described as “that class of our community who have most of the toil and fewest of the enjoyments of this world”. At the time of Prince Albert’s passing, porter (getting its name from the porters working on the streets of London) and stout were the preferred drinks of the working class so combining stout and the upper class Champagne was like making the British come together in mourning.
The Fujiyama glass was designed by Keita Suzuki in 2012 and made at the Japanese glassworks Sugahara. The design is inspired by Mount Fuji and when used for beer the head will form a snowy top on the mountain.
