NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, has unveiled an eight-beer tap list. From IPA to stout, that is a very fun lineup to build a night around!

Eight beers?! So we can plan from first pour to finale? I would lose instantly in front of that tap list!
Hop Bro
A highlight is “Pyracantha,” NEIGHBOR’s collaboration with VERTERE: a New Zealand pale ale. It should showcase the bright aroma of NZ hops.
Mugi
What are NZ hops?! Does that mean hops grown in New Zealand? Beer just turned into an international trip!
Hop Bro
Exactly! Hops give beer aroma and bitterness, and New Zealand varieties often lean tropical. I’d compare it with Kyoto Brewing’s “Tokimeki Netsushisen,” a tropical IPA.
Mugi
That name already sounds romantic! But “Rain Afterglow” is a farmhouse ale with ginger, red shiso, and amanatsu—that is a whole menu board in one glass!
Hop Bro
Farmhouse ales trace back to rural brewing traditions and leave room for creativity. That makes them great for exploring layers of aroma and flavor.
Mugi
Wow! Nara Brewing’s “ENNUI” is a brown ale with azuki and condensed milk? I want to appoint it dessert captain immediately!
Hop Bro
Then there’s And Beer’s oatmeal stout “Black Swallow,” plus NUDE BEER’s “AMATSUKAZE,” a lager with Kitayama cedar. The lineup can go crisp or rich with ease.
Mugi
With fried oysters, beef tendon stew, and tuna carpaccio, we need a beer-and-food strategy meeting! I want to drink my way through NEIGHBOR in Nogata, from the first glass to the last!
Eight beers on tap
NEIGHBOR’s latest “Today’s on Tap” post features "Pyracantha / NZ Pale Ale" with VERTERE, Kyoto Brewing’s "Tokimeki Netsushisen / Tropical IPA", PAINT PALETTE BREWERY’s "Rain Afterglow / FARMHOUSE ALE with ginger, red shiso, and amanatsu peel", and Nara Brewing’s "ENNUI / Brown Ale w/ azuki and condensed milk".
The list also includes And Beer’s "Black Swallow / Oatmeal Stout", NUDE BEER’s "AMATSUKAZE / Westcoast Lager w/ Kitayama cedar", FLORA FERMENTATION’s "Witte Wieven / White IPA", and "Mexican Light Lager" with Bighand Bros.Beer. The range is broad enough to move from hop-forward beers to ingredient-driven farmhouse ale, sweeter brown ale, crisp lager, and a finishing stout in one visit.
NEIGHBOR is a beer pub at J-ARC Nogata 1F, 6-30-26 Nogata, Nakano-ku, Tokyo. The food list includes fried oysters with pear-mint sauce, beef tendon stew with harissa, and bonito carpaccio-style yodare maguro, making it easy to pair the beers with food. It reads as a neighborhood beer bar where the tap list is the main attraction, but the snacks and easygoing setup make it practical for a full session too.
