NEIGHBOR taps 8 beers, including VERTERE collab Pyracantha
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Nakano, shared an 8-beer tap list led by the VERTERE collaboration Pyracantha and the CYCADBREWING collab HOT BLOOD IPA. The post also highlights chicken vindaloo curry and napolitan pasta.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR just dropped an 8-tap lineup, and the range is kind of ridiculous. The VERTERE collab Pyracantha is leading the charge.
MugiWait, eight beers on tap? I'm already overwhelmed and I haven't even sat down!
Hop BroThe headline pour is NEIGHBOR x VERTERE's Pyracantha, a NZ Pale Ale at 5.5%. It's built to let New Zealand hops really shine.
MugiWhat does New Zealand hops even mean in normal-person language?
Hop BroThink white grape, citrus, and that super juicy aroma that jumps right out of the glass. It's the kind that gets an instant wow.
MugiI want that. But HOT BLOOD IPA being a West Coast IPA at 7.5% sounds like it wants to fight me.
Hop BroIt only fights bad beer habits. A real snappy bitterness keeps it crisp instead of syrupy, which is exactly the point of the style.
MugiBeer should not sound like a karate coach. Also, Mango & Lime Sour says fruit gose and now I've completely lost the plot.
Hop BroGose is lightly tart with a touch of salinity, so bright sour-salty balance is the whole trick. Mango and lime make it perfect between heavier pours.
MugiOhhh, so I could start with Heinzel the kolsch and finish on Milk Stout? You can build a route through this tap list like it's a game map!
Hop BroExactly. Pony Boy hazy IPA, Hilgardite English Pale Ale, and the Bighand Bros.Beer collab Mexican Light Lager give it serious style range from start to finish.
MugiAnd then they add chicken vindaloo curry, Napolitan, and tuna carpaccio? That's not a quick stop anymore, that's my whole evening.
Hop BroRight, and the dog-visit notes plus bike-parking guidance make it feel like a true neighborhood pub. That's such a strong NEIGHBOR move.
MugiThen it's settled: Pyracantha first, HOT BLOOD IPA next, and food in between. I want a pint now!
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Nakano, has shared its latest tap list.
The lineup includes eight beers. Headliners are the NEIGHBOR × VERTERE collaboration "Pyracantha" (NZ Pale Ale, 5.5%) and the NEIGHBOR × CYCADBREWING collaboration "HOT BLOOD IPA" (West Coast IPA, 7.5%). The list also covers "Mango & Lime Sour" (Fruit Gose), "Hilgardite" (English Pale Ale), "Milk Stout", "Pony Boy" (Hazy IPA), "Heinzel" (Kölsch), and "Mexican Light Lager" from NEIGHBOR × Bighand Bros.Beer.
That range makes the board easy to read for beer drinkers: hoppy, sour, lager, and stout all appear in one post.
On the food side, the venue is also pushing new items such as chicken vindaloo curry and napolitan pasta, alongside regular recommendations like a genovese salt dog, tuna carpaccio, fig salami, and zeppole. It is a beer-pub setup built for pairing food with a broad tap range.
The shop operates as NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill at J-ARC Nogata 1F in Nogata, Nakano, Tokyo. The post also notes pet guidelines and a no-bicycle-parking reminder in front of the store, which reinforces the feel of a neighborhood spot with clear house rules.
