Craft Beer Market Jimbo-cho taps CRAFTROCK BREWING's A piece of Thick!
In a June 27 post, Craft Beer Market Jimbo-cho introduced CRAFTROCK BREWING’s `A piece of Thick!` as a guest beer. It is a smoothie sour made with blueberry, Japanese strawberry, and yuzu juice, and it pairs naturally with the shop’s roast chicken-focused menu.

MugiWhat! That name already sounds intense. That's from CRAFTROCK BREWING, right?
Hop BroExactly, and it's their first-ever smoothie sour. Pretty bold move, honestly.
MugiWait, what even is a smoothie sour? Am I drinking beer or accidentally ordering breakfast?
Hop BroBasically, it's a sour beer loaded with fruit, giving it a thick texture and that fruit-packed feel.
MugiWow, and it has blueberry, Japanese strawberry, and yuzu? That's a full triple fruit combo!
Hop BroThe smart part is that it doesn't lean only sweet. Blueberry aroma, strawberry depth, and yuzu lift make it more than dessert.
MugiSo it can work with food too? Roast chicken pairing was not on my bingo card!
Hop BroCBM Jimbo-cho is all about roast chicken, and with fried food or chicken, the sharp sour edge should pop even more.
MugiThat's it, I'm done resisting. I want a guest beer raid in Jimbocho with chicken on the side.
In a June 27 post, Craft Beer Market Jimbo-cho introduced CRAFTROCK BREWING’s `A piece of Thick!` as a guest beer. According to the shop, it is CRAFTROCK’s first smoothie sour, built with blueberry, Japanese strawberry, and yuzu juice for a fruit-forward profile.
The Jimbo-cho location follows the Craft Beer Market formula: 30 rotating draft beers served daily in a beer-pub setting. Its concept is "craft beer and roast chicken," and the menu is designed to work well with beer, from the signature roast chicken to appetizers, French fries, and carpaccio.
What stands out about this release is its balance. The blueberry aroma, the body from the strawberries, and the yuzu accent suggest a beer that can lean dessert-like without losing its place at the table. It should be interesting alongside fried dishes or roast chicken, where the acidity can come through more clearly.
The post also highlighted the venue’s drinking party courses, including a walk-in weekday option, a roast-chicken course, and a heavier course with meat platters and the day’s pasta. That makes the shop easy to use whether you are stopping in for one beer or settling in for a longer night.
