NEIGHBOR posts an eight-tap lineup featuring VERTERE and Kyoto Brewing
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Nakano Ward, Tokyo, shared its latest tap list on Instagram. The lineup spans eight beers, including two house collaborations and a mix of IPA, lager, stout, and farmhouse ale styles.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR in Nogata just dropped a tap list of eight today. VERTERE and Kyoto Brewing are both on it, so the range is kind of ridiculous.
MugiWait, eight beers on tap at once? So this is not just an IPA parade?
Hop BroExactly. There are two in-house collabs too, and "Pyracantha" with VERTERE is a NZ Pale Ale at 5.5% with a really bright aroma.
MugiNZ means New Zealand, right!? When you say bright aroma, I feel like my nose is drinking before I am.
Hop BroThat part matters. NZ hops often throw tropical notes, so with Kyoto Brewing's Tropical IPA "Tokimeki Netsushisen," you start thinking mango and citrus right away.
MugiWhoa, even the name sounds intense! But what is a farmhouse ale anyway? A beer? A spell? A side quest?
Hop BroNot a spell. It's a loose, expressive style, and "Rain Afterglow" uses ginger, red shiso, and amanatsu peel, so the Japanese ingredient twist is the fun part.
MugiWhat is happening! And Nara Brewing's "ENNUI" has azuki and condensed milk in a brown ale? That's basically dessert in a glass.
Hop BroThen it keeps going: And Beer has an oatmeal stout, NUDE BEER has a Westcoast Lager with Kitayama cedar, FLORA FERMENTATION brings a White IPA, and there's even a Mexican Light Lager collab with Bighand Bros.Beer.
MugiAnd they have fried oysters, beef tendon stew, and tuna carpaccio too? This place sounds like a neighborhood paradise. Dog-friendly on top of that!
Hop BroThat's the beauty of it. From crisp lager to sweet brown ale and a stout finish, it's a one-stop beer session kind of lineup.
MugiThen it's settled. I want to start with Pyracantha and finish on ENNUI because this need for a drink is completely out of control now!
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Nakano Ward, Tokyo, posted its latest "Today’s on Tap" update on Instagram. The lineup includes eight beers, with two house collaborations among the guest selections.
Highlights include "Pyracantha" with VERTERE, listed as an NZ Pale Ale at 5.5%, Kyoto Brewing’s "Tokimeki Shisen" Tropical IPA at 7%, Paint Palette Brewery’s "Rain Afterglow" farmhouse ale brewed with ginger, red shiso, and amanatsu peel, and Nara Brewing’s "ENNUI" brown ale with azuki and condensed milk at 7%. The list also covers a wide range of flavor profiles, from hop-forward IPA to more malt-driven and ingredient-led beers.
Other taps are And Beer’s "Black Swallow" oatmeal stout at 4.6%, Nude Beer’s "AMATSUKAZE" West Coast Lager with Kitayama cedar at 4.5%, Flora Fermentation’s "Witte Wieven" White IPA at 7%, and NEIGHBOR x Bighand Bros. Beer’s Mexican Light Lager at 4.5%. It is a varied lineup that should work well for side-by-side tasting.
Food is part of the draw as well, with dishes such as fried oysters with pear and mint sauce, beef tendon stew with harissa, and maguro carpaccio listed alongside the beer. The result is a neighborhood beer pub that works both for a drink stop and for a full meal.
