At Shared Brewery in Naganuma-cho, Hachioji City, Tokyo, the new release "New Notion Potion" is now being served. Shared Brewery is a small brewery that aims to spread the fun of homebrewing, and one of its charms is that you can enjoy beer while taking in the atmosphere of the brewery itself.

In this lineup, centered on New Notion Potion, which layers a modern hop character over a classic base, there are a range of beers with different styles, including Yuzu POP IPA made with yuzu, the crisp Summit, the juicy DDH Hazy Tropics, the firmly bitter Chain Reaction, and the malty, toasty Shared Pub Ale. Tasting them side by side makes it easy to see how even within the same brewery, the design direction can vary greatly.

The taproom has an easy-to-stop-by operating style, especially on weekends, and the close-up feel of a brewery is another thing that makes this place unique. Rather than flashy presentation, it is a space suited to people who want to take their time and appreciate a beer that clearly conveys the maker's intent. It is the kind of brewery that makes sense for following the launch of a new release while enjoying both core beers and limited editions side by side.
