NEIGHBOR in Nogata taps Gangi Brewing's MORE GRIND and updates eight beers
NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill in Nogata, Tokyo, has refreshed its tap list with eight beers. The new pour is Gangi Brewing's MORE GRIND, a Golden Stout collaboration that joins juicy wheat, sour, pilsner, IPA, and stout options.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR in Nogata, Nakano just refreshed all eight taps, and the big new pour is Gangi Brewing's 'MORE GRIND.' That's the one I'd start talking about first.
MugiWait, MORE GRIND sounds like my morning alarm as a beer. What kind of pour is it?
Hop BroIt's a 5% Golden Stout from Gangi Brewing, made with ONE MORE BEER and GRANDLINE BREWING. You get coffee and cacao aromatics, but it drinks lighter than the name makes you expect.
MugiHold on, Golden Stout? What even is that? Stout is supposed to look like the final boss in a black cape!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. You can build roasty aroma without making the beer feel overly dark or heavy. Friendly look, grown-up flavor.
MugiWhat is that! Blond but espresso is a completely unhinged sentence. My brain is getting ground harder than the beans!
Hop BroSimple version: it gives you coffee-like aroma without turning into a heavy dessert bomb. That makes it easy to pair with the new charred romaine Caesar or the black pepper beef stir-fry.
MugiOooh, and today's list really goes from juicy to dark, right? Picking the first pint already sounds fun.
Hop BroExactly. For the opener, I'd go with NOMCRAFT's Tiki Tiki Boom or NUDE BEER's SANSAN. With food, HOT BLOOD IPA or Tsunagi work well, and for a slow finish it's MORE GRIND or Jazz.
MugiAnd there's even a pink lemonade sour from BLADE FACTORY BREWING? That's unfair in the best possible way. Crisp, tart, roasty, all in one visit!
Hop BroThis is a 5 p.m. opening sprint kind of lineup. Start light, slide into MORE GRIND, then close on the Irish Dry Stout Jazz and call it a perfect night.
MugiI'm sold. I want a pint now, plus the charred romaine salad, and tonight's plan is officially NEIGHBOR.
NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill in Nogata, Tokyo, has posted its latest tap list. The headline addition is Gangi Brewing's "MORE GRIND / Golden Stout (5%)", a collaboration with ONE MORE BEER and GRANDLINE BREWING. It leans into coffee and cocoa notes while keeping an easy-drinking finish.
Today's on Tap
- NOMCRAFT BREWING "Tiki Tiki Boom / Juicy Weizen (6%)"
- BLADE FACTORY BREWING "PINK ZEST CUT / Pink Lemonade Sour Ale (6%)"
- NUDE BEER "SANSAN-燦々- / Pilsner (5%)"
- NEIGHBOR×CYCADBREWING "HOT BLOOD IPA / WestCoastIPA (7.5%)"
- Gangi Brewing "MORE GRIND / Golden Stout (5%)"
- FLORA FERMENTATION "Ghoul / Hazy IPA (6.5%)"
- 潮風ブルーラボ "Tsunagi / English IPA (5.5%)"
- 有頂天醸造 "Jazz / Irish Dry Stout (4.3%)"
The lineup covers a wide range of styles, from juicy wheat beer and a pink lemonade sour to a clean pilsner, a hop-forward West Coast IPA, an English IPA, and an Irish dry stout. For a first glass, the Juicy Weizen or pilsner looks like an easy starting point. If you want something that can stand up to food, the collab West Coast IPA or English IPA is a natural pick. For slower sipping, MORE GRIND and Jazz give the menu a darker, more malt-driven side.
The post also highlights a new food item: charcoal-grilled romaine Caesar salad. It sits alongside beer-friendly dishes such as black pepper beef stir-fry, fried chicken, mushroom salad, grilled young corn, and tuna yuzu-kosho cream pasta. NEIGHBOR opens at 5 p.m., making it a straightforward stop for an after-work pint and dinner pairing.
