Hop BroNEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, now has eight distinctive taps on offer. That is seriously tempting for a tasting flight!
MugiWhoa! Eight different beers? I would freeze in front of that menu!
Hop BroThe standout is “Pyracantha,” a NEIGHBOR and VERTERE collaboration. It is a New Zealand pale ale, a light and lively 5.5% pour.
MugiDoes New Zealand pale ale mean it swam here from New Zealand? Is it about the hop origin?
Hop BroClose, but no swimming involved! New Zealand hops can bring citrus and tropical-fruit aromas—so think of it as a bright aromatic beer.
MugiOoh, I want that first! But FLORA FERMENTATION’s rye weizen, “Bauer,” has a name I love already!
Hop BroA weizen is usually soft and easygoing thanks to wheat. Bauer adds rye, so expect gentle flavor with spice—that is the simple picture.
MugiSounds delicious! GAME BREW’s “FEEL SO FREE” is a 6% fruit sour, and ASOBI BEER’s “ASOBI Kakikaki Stout” is a cacao milk stout? There goes my sweet-tooth resistance!
Hop BroIPA fans get DD4D Brewing’s “Time After Thyme,” a 7% IPA with citrus and spice. Gangi Brewing’s “CRACKIN’” is an orange-peel cask-like IPA, and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale rounds it all out!
MugiAnd the limited “Sloppy Joe” burger has minced meat, jalapeño jam, and smoked mayo! IPA with a burger sounds so good my stomach just growled!
Hop BroUse hop bitterness to cut through the burger’s richness, or let a fruit sour freshen it up. With corn risotto and beef-ragù pasta too, it makes you want to raise a glass in Nogata.
MugiIt is settled! Let’s start with Pyracantha and work through the taps. I want to go now!
