This weekend J's company hosted its annual holiday party. The food was once again quite good, but the best (and most surprising) treat of the evening was one of the featured drinks at the bar--Black Velvet. It was 1/2 stout beer, 1/2 champagne, and boy was it tasty. I have always been skeptical of mixing beer with anything, but this worked. The tart and sparkly champagne cut and complemented the hoppy beer flavor. I think this may become a holiday staple.

I would NEVER have put those together. I'm just curious enough to try it though. Thanks for sharing.

In his book 'The Satanist'the author Dennis Wheatley describes this unusual drink as being Chancellor Bismark's favourite tipple. He too referred to it as 'Black Velvet'so it is an old fashioned drink with a real history.
Gilbert Roland's character gives Jane Russel's character this drink to prevent sea sickness in the Howard Hughes 1953 movie, The French Line.
This is perfect because when I listen the word party all my senses increase a lot, that's perfect it has bee an excellent article.
Well, I think we need more blogs like this one and some wizards of the kitchen spend countless hours mixing and experimenting with different ingredients, cooking times and temperatures, and other techniques, only to get a certain dish perfect, and find they cannot duplicate it again.
