Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen Celebrates “Fun, Fabulous and Fearless” Females

With International Women's Collaboration Brew Day falling on March 4 and International Women's Day on March 8, 2019, Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen commemorates both these special dates with a spotlight on the craftswomen behind the scenes.  

In addition to attractive room packages, the Hotel is offering a host of other recreational activities and dining experiences for guests to enjoy, including a collaboration with multi-awarded Young Master Brewery and committee members of Pink Boots Society in Hong Kong. The Pink Boots Society was created to assist, inspire and encourage women beer industry professionals to advance their careers through education. They are the female movers and shakers in the beer industry.

“Many hotel bars focus on cocktails and guest appearances with bartenders, but with the growth of the craft beer scene, especially in China, it seems fitting to provide our guests with more opportunities to understand and appreciate craft beers, as well as the masters behind these brews,”’ says Louis Jin, Director of Food and Beverage.

From March 4 to 10, 2019, the Hotel is partnering with the femme-squad of Young Master Brewery to provide guests with an introduction into the world of crafts beers at Yi Bar and Lounge, through a one-day master class and a specially curated menu that will be available at the bar throughout the week. Recognised as one of the best craft beer breweries in Hong Kong, guests can sample house-made bottled labels such as the Classic Pale Ale (CNY 68), accredited the Best Pale Ale in the Hong Kong Beer Championships; Australian International Beer Awards Gold winner, Cha Chaan Teng Gose (CNY 68); or a house favourite such as the Pilsner (CNY 58).
