Hop BroThere’s a new place in Sapporo where you can enjoy Abashiri Beer on draft: NEIGHBOUR Roast&Brew.
MugiWhat?! The colorful Abashiri beers I know from souvenirs? They’re on draft in Sapporo?
Hop BroExactly. The venue serves three Abashiri staples, brewed in the Okhotsk-side city famous for winter drift ice.
MugiNice! But is this article announcing a new beer? What’s the beer called?
Hop BroThis time, it’s a store introduction titled “Hello NEIGHBOUR!...”; a new beer name and release date are not yet announced.
MugiNo way! I came looking for a new release, but the shop is the star. Okay, now I’m curious.
Hop BroIt’s on the first floor of ANA Crowne Plaza Sapporo, with selected domestic and international beers plus venue-exclusive original beer.
MugiExclusive beer? That suddenly feels like a treasure hunt! So, how is draft different?
Hop BroA keg pour lets the venue manage serving temperature and carbonation, helping you enjoy fresh, expressive aromas and a lovely foam texture.
MugiSo even the foam is a main character! I’m fully ready for a foam moustache.
Hop BroThe food sounds perfect too: Hokkaido bacon, smoked salmon, and Kuromatsunai cream cheese—ingredients made for beer.
MugiThen we have to go! With coffee and sweets too, it’s a place everyone can toast. Let’s try Abashiri Beer in Sapporo!
Abashiri Beer has introduced NEIGHBOUR Roast&Brew, its Sapporo venue located in Chuo Ward. The Instagram post, titled “Hello NEIGHBOUR!...”, highlights the venue as a place where people can connect through beer, food and coffee. The post does not specify a launch date or sales period for a new product.
NEIGHBOUR Roast&Brew is located on the first floor of ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Sapporo. Its concept is “turning someone’s time into time shared with someone else,” welcoming both local residents and travelers from around the world.
The beer selection includes three Abashiri Beer staples from Abashiri, a city facing the Sea of Okhotsk where drift ice arrives in winter. These beers are commonly enjoyed as Hokkaido souvenirs, while NEIGHBOUR offers them on draft. The venue also selects creative craft beers from breweries in Japan and overseas, alongside original beers made exclusively for NEIGHBOUR.
Its food menu focuses on Hokkaido ingredients, including bacon, smoked salmon and cream cheese from Kuromatsunai. The dishes are designed to pair with beer and to be shared at the table. Guests can also enjoy an original coffee blend and desserts, making the venue suitable for more than beer-focused visits.
NEIGHBOUR Roast&Brew is located at 1-2-9 Kita 3-jo Nishi, Chuo-ku, Sapporo. With Abashiri Beer at its core, the venue offers a way to explore Hokkaido flavors while discovering beers from a wider craft brewing community.
