NEIGHBOR updates 8 taps, including GAME BREW × maroyaka’s "The Beer"
The beer pub NEIGHBOR in Nogata, Tokyo, posted its tap list for the day on Instagram. The lineup consists of 7 beers and 1 craft cider, including GAME BREW × maroyaka’s "The Beer" and Beppu Brewery’s "Yuagari Pils."
Hop BroNEIGHBOR in Nogata has updated its 8 taps. The highlight this time is GAME BREW × maroyaka’s "The Beer," and the fact that it’s a Cold Pale Ale at 4.5% already feels great, doesn’t it?
MugiWait, the name The Beer is almost too boldly straightforward! But what even is a Cold Pale Ale? Is it just a cold pale ale?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s a style that really lets the brightness of the hops come through. Instead of hitting you with a big blast of bitterness, the aroma lifts nicely and the drinking feel stays light, so it’s perfect as a first beer.
MugiOhh! Then Beppu Brewery’s Yuagari Pils should go down easily too. When I hear pilsner, I always think of that classic, reassuring feel!
Hop BroExactly. The appeal of a pilsner is how cleanly it shows malt crispness. At 4.5%, it’s light and easygoing, so it pairs well with food, and that’s also why NEIGHBOR’s tap list has such a wide range.
MugiHold on, what is Wano NIGORI IPA? It’s cloudy, but with "wa" in the name, I can’t tell whether it feels calming or wild!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. Repubrew’s Wano NIGORI IPA is a Hazy IPA at 6%. The haze helps capture hop aroma and juiciness, so despite how it looks, it tends to drink fruity.
MugiWhat? And FLORA FERMENTATION × NUDE’s Tayu is also interesting because it’s a Porter with Soba! Add soba, and it suddenly gives off the vibe of a soba shop!
Hop BroNice reaction. The toasted aroma of the soba overlaps with the porter’s roastiness, so it has this interesting quality of being dark without feeling too heavy. And NOMCRAFT’s "Habano Noir" is a 10% Imperial Brown Ale, so if you compare them at the same table, the range of flavors is huge.
Mugi10% is basically an event! And if there’s even Ace Cider’s "Ace Guava" and DD4D’s "Don Jalapeño," then sweetness and heat are both covered. A tasting lineup like this is way too fun!
Hop BroEnding with a Red IPA like BURNT MILL’s Crimson Highway is very NEIGHBOR, too. If beer fans see this lineup in Nogata, and even people who just want to choose by mood, they’re going to be happily spoiled for choice.
MugiI’ve completely decided on my first beer tonight! I’ll start with Yuagari Pils for the toast, then compare it with The Beer at the end, and I might end up wanting to live in Nogata!

That makes the tasting lineup especially clear. It is also eye-catching that the list includes a craft cider made with guava, not just beer.
