Black Velveteen

Posted on September 12, 2012 | Leave a comment

Possibly beer’s popularity goes far beyond taste and reaches to the core of human basics; pleasure seeking ease of consumption. You’ll never take the beer away from the man, but perhaps the man can be lead to the most basic of beer cocktails by way of easy recipe construction. The Black Velveteen is based upon the Black Velvet cocktail which consists of Guinness and Brut Champagne. This beer-tail keeps more in line with liquids one might have on hand at usual tailgate gatherings, football watch parties or corner pubs.

Dog’s Nose

Stranger concoctions have existed, but the Dog’s Nose has deep roots in the drinking world. It is said that the Dog’s Nose is referenced in the Pickwick Club, the first novel by Charles Dickens. The first issue of the novel was published in 1836 with the last in 1837. That makes the Dog’s Nose vintage indeed.
