Potluck_cbb in Shiba adds two new AFURI Brewing beers
Potluck_cbb, a beer pub in Shiba, Tokyo, has announced new guest beers from AFURI Brewing in Atsugi. The lineup features two beers: a Super Yuzu Sansho IPA and a Yuzu Peach NE IPA. It is a concise but appealing release for fans of citrus-driven craft beer.
Hop BroPotluck_cbb in Shiba just got two AFURI arrivals. They lean hard into that Atsugi-style yuzu character, so this is absolutely a side-by-side tasting situation.
MugiWhat! You can drink those in Tokyo? The idea of a side-by-side tasting is already blowing up my plans!
Hop BroFirst up is Afuri no Himitsu S. It's a Super Yuzu Sansho IPA, with bright yuzu on the nose and a prickly sansho edge that gives it real definition.
MugiWhat is that! Super Yuzu Sansho IPA sounds like four drinks trying to merge at once. So it's citrusy, peppery, and bitter too?
Hop BroThat's basically it. At 6.0% ABV, it also has serious hop presence, so it doesn't just finish as a sweet fruit beer.
MugiOh wow, so that's the grown-up Japanese spice lane. The name says secret, but the beer has zero secret energy and I kind of love that!
Hop BroThe other one is Yuzu Peach NE IPA. It's 5.0%, easier to approach, and built to wrap yuzu sharpness in the rounder feel of peach.
MugiHold on, what is NE IPA? Because my brain keeps reading that as a northeast IPA!
Hop BroNE means New England, basically a soft hazy IPA. The bitterness stays smoother, while the juicy aroma gets pushed to the front.
MugiOhh, so Yuzu Peach is gentle and fluffy, while Himitsu S is snappy and crisp. That sounds like two totally different moods and I'm into it!
Hop BroExactly. At a place like Potluck_cbb where the guest taps rotate, I start planning the ideal drinking order in my head. I'd open with peach and finish with sansho.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. I want to do that exact order in Shiba, and I can already hear us saying we'll take both at the bar!
Potluck_cbb, the beer pub located on the first floor of Shiba Park Square in Tokyo's Shiba area, has posted a new arrival update featuring AFURI Brewing from Atsugi. The latest guest-beer lineup highlights two beers with a clearly citrus-forward direction, making this a notable stop for craft beer fans tracking fresh taps.
New arrivals
- Afuri no Himitsu S
- style: Super Yuzu Sansho IPA
- abv: 6.0%
- Yuzu Peach NE IPA
- style: Yuzu Peach NE IPA
- abv: 5.0%
Afuri no Himitsu S is a Super Yuzu Sansho IPA, combining yuzu with sansho pepper. That suggests a profile built around bright citrus aroma, a dry hop presence, and a spice note that should give the beer more edge than a standard fruit IPA. At 6.0% ABV, it also has enough body for those who want a more substantial pint.
Yuzu Peach NE IPA, on the other hand, points toward a softer, juicier expression. With yuzu and peach layered into a New England IPA at 5.0% ABV, it should lean toward a rounded mouthfeel and a fruit-driven aroma rather than sharp bitterness. For drinkers who prefer a gentler, aromatic hop profile, it looks like an easy pick.
Potluck_cbb fits the kind of place beer lovers look for when they want to follow guest-beer rotations closely. As a beer pub, it offers a setting where new arrivals can be enjoyed alongside food, making it a practical spot for tasting styles side by side rather than just ordering a single pint and moving on.
For fans of yuzu-forward beers, Japanese-inspired flavor combinations, or simply well-defined IPA variations, this AFURI Brewing update is worth noting. Two beers, two different expressions of citrus, and a clear reason to stop by Shiba if you're chasing something fresh on tap.
