NEIGHBOR in Nogata posts an 8-beer tap list featuring a VERTERE collab
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Nakano, shared its latest tap list on Instagram. The lineup includes eight beers, among them a NEIGHBOR x VERTERE collaboration, with styles ranging from IPA and Gose to Stout and Lager.
Hop BroNogata's NEIGHBOR just dropped an eight-tap lineup, and it even has a VERTERE collab on it.
MugiWhat! A VERTERE collab too? That is a very aggressive first-glance menu.
Hop BroThe headliner is NEIGHBOR x VERTERE's Pyracantha, a New Zealand pale ale. Kyoto Brewing's Tokimeki Netsushisen is on too, and that's a Tropical IPA, so hop fans are covered.
MugiNZ hops? What is that? Are we talking New Zealand in my beer passport now?
Hop BroExactly. They tend to throw off white grape aromatics and bright citrus, so Pyracantha should feel crisp, while Tokimeki Netsushisen pushes harder into tropical fruit.
MugiOkay, but Minoh Beer's PLUM GOSE is literally a plum gose, right? Then Nara Brewing's ENNUI shows up and my taste buds are already panicking.
Hop BroENNUI is a brown ale with adzuki and condensed milk, so you get gentle sweetness with roast. And &Beer’s Black Swallow is an Oatmeal Stout, which usually means a smoother body.
MugiWait, NUDE BEER's AMATSUKAZE uses cedar and is a Kitayama cedar lager? Beer has officially entered science-fair territory.
Hop BroThat one is a West Coast lager, so it's aiming for woody aroma and a clean finish at the same time. FLORA FERMENTATION's Witte Wieven is a White IPA, and NEIGHBOR x Bighand Bros.Beer's Mexican Light Lager sounds like the easy closer.
MugiSo White IPA is basically wheat-beer lightness plus IPA hop character? I need more imaginary glasses in my head.
Hop BroThat's the idea. This is the kind of list that makes me want to do a full lap, especially with fried oysters and pear-mint sauce, harissa beef tendon stew, and chicken vindaloo curry on the food side.
MugiNope, that's it, I want NEIGHBOR tonight. Start with Pyracantha, finish with the Mexican Light Lager, and I am absolutely doing the full tasting run.
