NEIGHBOR in Nogata unveils an eight-tap lineup including a VERTERE collab
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Tokyo, has shared its latest tap list on Instagram. The lineup spans eight beers, from hop-forward styles to Gose, Brown Ale, Stout, and Lager, making it a strong fit for beer-and-grill pairing.
Hop BroNogata’s NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill just posted an eight-tap lineup that’s dangerously good. It even has the NEIGHBOR x VERTERE collab, “Pyracantha,” so the first pour is already a tough choice.
MugiWait, what is Pyracantha supposed to be? That sounds less like a beer and more like a spell from a fantasy game!
Hop BroIt’s a NEIGHBOR x VERTERE NZ Pale Ale at 5.5%, built around New Zealand hops in the best way. Think bright grape and citrus aromas, really vivid and clean.
MugiOkay, but Kyoto Brewing’s “Tokimeki Netsushisen” is a Tropical IPA and FLORA FERMENTATION’s Witte Wieven is a White IPA, right? I’m seeing a too many IPAs situation here.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. They’re both IPA, but White IPA brings a soft wheat texture and a lighter, witbier-like feel, so it drinks very differently from a tropical hop bomb.
MugiGot it... then what about Minoh Beer’s PLUM GOSE? What is Gose and why does it sound like I need a chemistry degree?
Hop BroGose is a style with salt and acidity, and PLUM GOSE adds plum on top for a salty-tart vibe. That kind of snap would be great with the oyster fry.
MugiThat sounds amazing! But Nara Brewing’s ENNUI is a Brown Ale with azuki and condensed milk? That is too much information for one beer name. Is it dessert or is it beer?
Hop BroDefinitely still beer. ENNUI sounds like a sweet-roasty curveball, Black Swallow is an Oatmeal Stout, and AMATSUKAZE is a Westcoast Lager with Kitayama cedar, so the wild range here is the whole point.
MugiAnd they’re serving braised beef tendon with harissa and chicken vindaloo curry too? That’s basically pairing heaven. I would not leave after just one glass.
Hop BroThen you can even finish with the NEIGHBOR x Bighand Bros.Beer Mexican Light Lager at 4.5% and keep it crisp to the end. I need a pint now just talking about it.
MugiSame. I want to start with Pyracantha and work through the whole list with food on the side. I’m basically heading to Nogata in my mind already!
