NEIGHBOR Adds B.M.B Brewery's Ruby Tint and Seven More Taps
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Nakano, Tokyo, has put B.M.B Brewery's smoothie sour `Ruby Tint` on tap. The lineup also includes `VANADINITE`, a collaboration with Bighand bros., and seven other beers. A birthday event is scheduled for July 3-4.
Hop BroAt NEIGHBOR in Nogata, they've got eight beers on tap, which is a pretty serious lineup. The new arrival is B.M.B BREWERY's "Ruby Tint," a 4% smoothie sour made with strawberry, peach, and ice cream.
MugiWait, ice cream in beer!? That sounds like dessert somehow wandered into a pint glass.
Hop BroThat's the fun part. A smoothie sour is a tart style loaded with fruit and a thick, juicy texture, and Ruby Tint sounds like one you can enjoy almost like a dessert.
MugiWhoa, a tart beer style? That suddenly sounds like a classroom lecture. So it's not just sweet, it actually has a bright tang too?
Hop BroExactly, and that keeps it from feeling too heavy. The post even calls it a dessert-like pour, and the mention of its sister beer Amethyst Eye really fits B.M.B's whole vibe.
MugiThat is so tempting! And NEIGHBOR sounds like a paradise of variety, right? Lager, saison, IPA, weizen, even rye stout all in one lineup is wild.
Hop BroThe other standout is VANADINITE's character. It's a Bighand bros. × NEIGHBOR Mexican Light Lager with soft sweetness from corn and wheat, floral aroma, and a crisp dry finish.
MugiNo way, they even suggest adding lime!? That beer just showed up wearing a badge that says, "official refreshment specialist."
Hop BroAnd the very NEIGHBOR thing about it is how food-friendly it is. With edamame peperoncino, octopus carpaccio, chili con carne nachos, and tuna-yuzu pepper cream pasta, you can build a full drinking arc from light to bold.
MugiThat sounds amazing! A full-on food pairing festival, starting with Ruby Tint's sweet-tart vibe and then casually detouring into IPA territory.
Hop BroAnd on July 3 and July 4, there's also a birthday event for Chef Katsunao. With rotating taps plus an event, they've made a very solid excuse to stop by.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. I want a drink now, and I want both Ruby Tint and VANADINITE so I can sit there looking like I figured summer out.
