NEIGHBOR in Nogata has eight beers on tap, including Shiokaze Blue Lab's 'Tsunagi'
NEIGHBOR, the beer pub in Nogata, Tokyo, has released its tap list, which includes Shiokaze Blue Lab's 'Tsunagi.' From Yellow Beer Works' lager to Barebottle Brewing's IPA, the lineup ranges from light and easy-drinking to fuller-bodied beers.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR in Nogata is really going for it with eight kegs on tap. From lager to IPA, it's a lineup you can enjoy from start to finish.
MugiWhoa, that wide a range!? And it's a beer pub, but they also have burgers and hot dogs? That's the kind of place that makes you want to stay all day!
Hop BroExactly. Since they go by `craftbeer&grill`, it's easy to connect food and beer naturally. It's the kind of place where you're ready for your first drink even from lunchtime.
MugiOhhh! But with so many styles, I might get stuck deciding. Lager, sour, dark chestnut ale... the names alone sound intense!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. From something light like Yellow Beer Works' "Rice Lager" to something dark like Miyazaki Hideji Beer's "Kurikuro," the lineup is neatly arranged from light to rich.
MugiBut when I hear English IPA, it suddenly sounds hard! Isn't that just one of those bitter-only beers?
Hop BroNo, no, that's a common misconception. This Shiokaze Blue Lab "Tsunagi" is an English IPA that focuses on a balance of green aroma and pleasant bitterness, with drinkability taking priority over flashiness.
MugiHay and tatami? That description suddenly feels like a Japanese room! But I kind of get it, you mean a green, grassy aroma, right?
Hop BroThat's right. And "Tsunagi" is a collaboration with Kyoto's Bighand Bros., so it has the kind of cohesion you'd expect from a collab IPA. It goes down smoothly, but the aftertaste still stays with you.
MugiI see, so maybe the right move is to start with lager, work in a sour or dark beer along the way, and finish with IPA! I want to do a tasting course right now!
Hop BroExactly. NEIGHBOR is that kind of place. You can choose based on your mood from the first glass to the finish, so whether you're a lager person or an IPA person today, everybody ends up raising their glass.
