NEIGHBOR in Nogata posts an eight-beer tap list, including two collaboration brews
Nogata beer pub NEIGHBOR shared its tap list on Instagram on August 21. The lineup features eight beers in total, including two collaboration brews with VERTERE and CYCADBREWING, plus food recommendations such as chilled tantan noodles.
Hop BroToday's story is about NEIGHBOR in Nogata. Their August 21 post revealed eight beers on tap, including two collabs, and that is a seriously stacked list.
MugiWhat! Two collaboration beers right away? That pub is showing off straight from the taps!
Hop BroThe headliners are NEIGHBOR x VERTERE's Pyracantha as an NZ Pale Ale, and NEIGHBOR x CYCADBREWING's HOT BLOOD IPA, which is a West Coast IPA.
MugiHold on, NZ Pale Ale means the pale ale moved to New Zealand or something?
Hop BroNot quite that dramatic. NZ usually points to New Zealand hops, so you can expect white-grape aromas and bright citrus character in the glass.
MugiOhhh, so it's like traveling by aroma! And Kyoto Brewing's "洒落 Extra Special Bitter Edition" already has serious ESB energy just from the name.
Hop BroESB stands for Extra Special Bitter, but it is not a bitterness contest. It leans into malty, rounded flavor, which is why the lineup feels so nicely balanced with beers like ENNUI and Black Swallow.
MugiAnd PAINT PALETTE BREWING's Rain Afterglow has ginger, red shiso, and amanatsu peel? That is seasoning-rack chaos in the best possible way!
Hop BroAnd the food side is strong too: chilled tantan noodles, charcoal-grilled corn, beef tendon with harissa, even rotating pasta, so the pairing daydreams get out of control fast. Then you still have the cedar-accented lager and a White IPA in the mix.
MugiI also love that they posted rules for dogs and bike parking. It really feels like a true neighborhood spot, not some intimidating beer bunker. Now I want to go immediately!
Hop BroSame here. Start with Pyracantha, follow it with HOT BLOOD IPA, and bring on the chilled tantan noodles. This is a go early plan if we want a shot at all eight taps.
NEIGHBOR posted the day's tap list on August 21, and the lineup showed solid range: eight beers in total, including two collaboration releases.
Tap list
- NEIGHBOR x VERTERE, "Pyracantha" / NZ Pale Ale
- Kyoto Brewing, "Sharaku Extra Special Bitter Edition" / ESB
- PAINT PALETTE BREWING, "Rain Afterglow" / Farmhouse Ale with ginger, red shiso, and amanatsu peel
- Nara Brewing, "ENNUI" / Brown Ale with azuki and condensed milk
- AND BEER, "Black Swallow" / Oatmeal Stout
- NUDE BEER, "AMATSUKAZE" / West Coast Lager with Kitayama cedar
- FLORA FERMENTATION, "Witte Wieven" / White IPA
- NEIGHBOR x CYCADBREWING, "HOT BLOOD IPA" / West Coast IPA
The range is broad enough to cover hop-forward drinks, darker malt-driven beers, and lighter options like ESB and lager. That makes the bar easy to match with whatever pace you want for the night.
Food on the post included chilled tantan noodles, charcoal-grilled corn, beef tendon simmered with harissa, a Genovese salt dog, fig kalpás, and salmon with fried eggplant in tomato sauce pasta. The pasta menu changes by day and week, so pairing beer with food should stay interesting.
As a craft beer and grill spot in Nogata, NEIGHBOR feels built for regulars and walk-ins alike. The post also notes rules for guests bringing dogs and mentions that bicycles cannot be parked right in front of the shop. If you want one of the featured taps, going early would be the safer move.
