NEIGHBOR in Nogata lists 8 taps and starts Apricot Chilli Chicken Burger on July 13
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Nakano-ku, Tokyo, posted its current tap list on July 13, along with a limited Apricot Chilli Chicken Burger available from July 13 to July 16. The lineup leans into summer-friendly IPAs, wheat beers, and sours.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR in Nakano just dropped eight fresh taps that feel made for summer. They’ve also got the Apricot Chilli Chicken Burger from July 13 to July 16.
MugiWhat! Only four days for the burger? That’s rude. My stomach already made a reservation!
Hop BroIf you want to start easy, go with CRAFTROCK BREWING’s Wheat City. It’s an American Wheat with soft wheat texture and a bright citrus-hop lift.
MugiWhoa, but American Wheat still sounds intense to me. What is it actually supposed to taste like?
Hop BroThink soft, bread-like texture with lemony and orangey aroma. The yeast stays quieter than in a hefeweizen, so it lands as a friendly wheat beer.
MugiOkay, then what about Gangi Brewing’s HOME BOUND, the Dark Mild w/Oak chip? That name sounds like a study with jazz playing.
Hop BroThat’s exactly the vibe. It’s only 3%, gently roasty, and the wood note adds depth. Oak chips are little bits of wood used to bring in barrel-like aroma.
MugiTiny wood bits makes it sound like DIY beer, but I get it now: a quiet grown-up pint. I want that with a night breeze.
Hop BroIf you want more punch, TAROS BREWING’s DUMPWEED3 is the move. It’s a West Coast IPA with muscat-level hops and grapefruit snap that can take on the burger’s sweet heat.
MugiThat pairing sounds ridiculous in the best way! But NUDE BEER’s SUZUKA-Ryofu says Session White IPA and my brain just froze.
Hop BroNot a spell, just useful beer shorthand. Session means lighter and easy to keep drinking, and the sansho finish is perfect for summer. Then FLORA FERMENTATION’s Mizuha is a Sake Yeast Beer, and there’s also HINO BREWING’s Yare Yare Ale, Oroi Brewing’s CRACK/B, and Bighand Bros. Beer’s Carnelian, so I’d happily do a full lap.
MugiThat settles it. Wheat City first, DUMPWEED3 in the middle, Carnelian for dessert vibes, plus the burger on the side. Take me to NEIGHBOR right now!
