NEIGHBOR in Nogata unveils today’s eight-beer tap list
The beer pub NEIGHBOR in Nogata, Tokyo, shared its latest tap list on Instagram. The lineup spans eight beers, including a VERTERE collaboration, IPAs, a lager, a stout, and several beers with distinctive ingredients.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR in Nogata just dropped today's eight taps, and this 5:00 p.m. opening lineup is seriously stacked.
MugiEight taps? At Nogata's NEIGHBOR? Is this a pub update or a stealth beer festival?
Hop BroWhat jumps out is the VERTERE collab Pyracantha, Kyoto Brewing's Tokimeki Netsushisen, and NEIGHBOR x CYCADBREWING's HOT BLOOD IPA, plus a broad style spread across the whole list.
MugiThose names already sound intense, and then you hit me with NZ Pale Ale and West Coast IPA... that's a style jargon ambush!
Hop BroSimple version: NZ Pale Ale and White IPA lean aromatic, Farmhouse Ale brings funky fermentation character, and West Coast styles stay crisp and bitter, so it's basically a hop aroma showdown that still reaches dark beer.
MugiOkay, I can track that. But the article also mentioned adjunct-heavy beer and now I feel like somebody invited the kitchen into the brewhouse.
Hop BroThat's pretty much it. Rain Afterglow uses ginger, red shiso, and amanatsu peel, ENNUI brings in azuki and condensed milk, and AMATSUKAZE uses Kitayama cedar, so it's ingredient chaos in harmony.
MugiAzuki and condensed milk in a Brown Ale, and cedar in a lager? That's not a tap list, that's a drinkable pantry exhibit!
Hop BroAnd the food is doing real work too: chilled tantan noodles, beef tendon with harissa, maguro carpaccio, and even extra rice for the leftover sauce. That's serious pairing energy.
MugiI'm done for. I want to start with Pyracantha, wander through Rain Afterglow, and finish with Black Swallow like a hero. Pour me a flight right now!
Hop BroCorrect route. Open with something snappy like AMATSUKAZE's Westcoast Lager, close on Black Swallow's Oatmeal Stout, and you've got a full style tour in one sitting.
