NEIGHBOR posts an 8-beer tap list featuring VERTERE collab Pyracantha
NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill in Nogata, Tokyo, has shared its latest tap list. The lineup includes NEIGHBOR x VERTERE's Pyracantha, Shiga Kogen Beer’s SNOW MONKEY IPA “orange ver.”, and six other beers, with pizza planned for 8/29-30.
Hop BroNogata's latest NEIGHBOR tap list is looking strong. They've got eight kegs on, and the two collabs really define the lineup.
MugiWait, eight taps at once? That's basically a mini festival. Where do we even start?
Hop BroThe headline pour is Pyracantha NZ Pale Ale, the NEIGHBOR x VERTERE collab. A house-name collab like that instantly sets the tone.
MugiOkay, but NZ hop character sounds like you just opened a brewing textbook on me!
Hop BroPlain version: it's tropical fruit aroma in the glass. Bright, fragrant, not brutally bitter, and easy to start with.
MugiGot it! Then HOT BLOOD IPA from NEIGHBOR x CYCADBREWING is the loud, sporty one?
Hop BroExactly, and it's a West Coast IPA, so crisp bitterness leads the way. Then you've also got Kyoto Brewing's '洒落,' CRAFTROCK's 'Malibu,' RIKRI's 'Encore,' And Beer's 'Black Swallow,' Shiga Kogen's 'SNOW MONKEY IPA orange ver.,' and FARMENTRY's 'Powder Juice,' with styles running from ESB to Northern IPA.
MugiWhat is this, a tasting playground? I'd be wandering around with a glass doing side quests all night.
Hop BroAnd on August 29-30 there's weekend pizza service, plus charcoal-grilled corn and the regular charcoal cheeseburger. They're not letting the beer have all the fun.
MugiI like that neighborhood pub energy too. Clear dog rules, no bicycle parking, everything feels practical and welcoming.
Hop BroI can already see the move: pizza with Pyracantha first, then switch to HOT BLOOD IPA when you want more bite. That article made me thirsty.
MugiI'm going for a SNOW MONKEY finish. Now I want the beer, the pizza, and probably that burger too.
NEIGHBOR in Nogata, Tokyo, has posted a fresh tap list with eight beers on draft. The standout pours are two house collaborations: NEIGHBOR x VERTERE’s Pyracantha, an NZ Pale Ale, and NEIGHBOR x CYCADBREWING’s HOT BLOOD IPA, a West Coast IPA. That pairing gives the list a very current NEIGHBOR feel.
The rest of the lineup spans a wide range of styles: Kyoto Brewing’s ESB, CRAFTROCK BREWING’s Malibu smoked Mexican lager, RIKRI BREWING’s Encore Kölsch, And Beer’s Black Swallow oatmeal stout, Shiga Kogen Beer’s SNOW MONKEY IPA “orange ver.”, and FARMENTRY’s Powder Juice Northern IPA. Bitter, smoky, crisp, dark, and hazy options are all represented.
On the food side, NEIGHBOR recommends charcoal-grilled corn, fig carpaccio, octopus carpaccio with basil sauce, and salmon with fried eggplant pasta. The bar also notes that its standard charcoal-grilled cheeseburger remains available, and pizza is scheduled for 8/29-30. It is a practical neighborhood beer pub where food and beer are easy to pair.
