The Black Velvet was first served in 1861 as a tribute to Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria, after his death of typhoid fever on December 14. It was created after a steward at Brook’s Club in London ordered that even Champagne should be in mourning, dressed in all black.

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.
