Hospitality
Four Points by Sheraton, a booming Marriott
International hotel brand known for its love
of beer, embarked on the Nairobi leg of it’s global trip discovering the
world’s Best Brews.
The journey kicked off at the new Four Points
Hurlingham in a trail that culminated with an exclusive preview of the soon to
open, Four Points by Sheraton Nairobi Airport.
Four Points’ Best Brews Around the World celebrates
the brand’s signature initiative, a dedicated program in which each of the
brand’s 225+ hotels around the world showcases a local, craft beer which has
been chosen based on taste, popularity, quality and proximity to the property.
A Best Brew is available on tap at each Four Points, offering travelers an
authentic taste of local beer culture wherever their travels may take them.
This year’s global trail kicked off in Manhattan, followed by Cancun Mexico,
Okanagan Valley Canada, Melbourne Australia, stopping off in Nairobi and
culminating in Barcelona, Spain.
As the only city on the African continent to be
joining this trail, Four Points by Sheraton, Nairobi is excited to showcase our
love for beer and travel to the international community. In Nairobi, we like to
push boundaries with our passion for local artisans. In this spirit, we have
collaborated with the Big Five Breweries to create our own signature craft beer
that carries serious flavour.
An exciting day of adventure commenced with a tasting
of the signature Four Pills brew along with a cook-off beer inspired lunch at
the Four Points by Sheraton, Nairobi Hurlingham property.
This was followed by a private tour of the Big Five
Breweries micro-brewery. Naturally, no trail in Nairobi would be complete
without taking in the views of our National Park and scenic green savannah.
Guests were treated to a surprise helicopter ride crossing the city and out to
the Ngong Hills.
The trail culminated with an exclusive preview at the
Four Points by Sheraton, Nairobi Airport hotel where our influencers were put
to the test with their beer knowledge in a blind-tasting conducted by Master
Brewer Aleem Ladak. Acclaimed graffiti artist Bankslave was also on hand to
share a live-art piece around the day’s activities.
Vivek Mathur, General Manager, Four Points by
Sheraton, Nairobi Airport said, “Four Points has a love for locally crafted
beers, which is why we partnered with The Big Five Breweries to sample a taste
of what Nairobi has to offer. We know the perfect pint has universal appeal,
which is why we are the only city in Africa participating in the launch of
‘Best Brews Around the World.’ We invite local beer lovers and thirsty
travelers to join us as we discover new Best Brews.”
