The story goes like this, the late, great Saint Patrick used a shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to Pagan Irish, winning them over with a three-leaved metaphor for Christianity's key tenet. That's why today's Saint Patrick's Day sees us partying like heathens and guzzling green beer. Now you know.
Not sure where to find Shenzhen's best emerald-colored suds? Read on, read on.
Blu Bamboo
Swing in to Blu Bamboo between 11pm and midnght for a pint of RMB25 green beer. If you drink quick enough, you'll also be able to squeeze in a shot of Jameson and a mixed drink, all also on sale for RMB25. Come for the drink deal, stay for the air hockey.
George and Dragon
Shenzhen's premiere English pub, the George and Dragon will be serving up pints of green beer for RMB25 while running a corn and beef cabbage special for RMB178.
See listing for George and Dragon.
Taps Coco Park
What better beer for St. Patrick's day than the green woodruff flavored Berliner Weiße Sour? Woodruff or Waldmeister in German has a very distinctive flavor of coumarin and a natural green color. Supply of the precious green gold is limited (180 milliliters for RMB30), so get to Taps early. If beer isn't your thing, there's a 20 percent off deal on all Irish whisky, along with an Irish coffee (RMB68) using Taps' celebrated brew.
The Terrace
Enjoy some of Shenzhen's best live music as you guzzle green beer, slam jello shots and receive the obtusely advertised 'lucky charms.'
