NEIGHBOR in Nogata lists eight taps, including VANADINITE and HOT BLOOD IPA
The Nogata beer pub NEIGHBOR has shared its current tap lineup. Eight beers are on offer, including Bighand bros. × NEIGHBOR’s VANADINITE and NEIGHBOR × CYCADBREWING’s HOT BLOOD IPA, alongside a food lineup built for pairing.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill in Nogata just dropped an eight-tap lineup, and it is stacked. You’ve got VANADINITE from Bighand bros. × NEIGHBOR and HOT BLOOD IPA from NEIGHBOR × CYCADBREWING in the same spread.
MugiWait, those names have main-character energy! VANADINITE sounds like a special attack. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroVANADINITE is a Mexican Light Lager, a collab between Bighand bros. and NEIGHBOR, at 4.5%. It uses corn and wheat, so it drinks light and slips right next to food.
MugiOoh, that has perfect-with-food vibes. So is HOT BLOOD IPA as intense and bitter as it sounds?
Hop BroHOT BLOOD IPA is a West Coast IPA, brewed with CYCADBREWING at 7.5%. Big hop aroma, firm bitterness, and a very clear 'yes, this is IPA' kind of profile.
MugiBut hold on, GO BARE says DH Saison with Lemon baum. What is DH? Did someone forget the rest of the word?
Hop BroThat means dry hop shorthand. Hops are added after fermentation to boost aroma, so a saison like Gangi Brewing’s GO BARE can stay rustic but still smell bright and lively.
MugiOkay, that helps! But with fete Mishima’s Nishiura Soleil 6, BALDYS GOOD BEER’s WINDMILL, Yatsugatake Brewery’s Rock Weizen, Kyoto Brewing’s Ichiryu Manbai, and Hop Kotan’s Iki na Haka RYE, the style range is wild!
Hop BroExactly. It runs from lighter saison options all the way to a 9% Imperial Rye Stout, so it’s basically a drink-by-mood menu. Crisp first, dark and heavy later, no problem.
MugiAnd the food list is ridiculous too: edamame peperoncino, biryani mole, octopus carpaccio with genovese sauce, chili con carne nachos, and tuna yuzu-kosho cream pasta. That’s pairing bait if I’ve ever seen it.
Hop BroThey’re open at 17:00 on June 30, and they’ve already teased events for July 3 and July 4, so Nogata wins tonight. I want to start with VANADINITE by the food and finish with HOT BLOOD IPA like a proper hop finale.
