NEIGHBOR in Nogata posts an 8-beer tap list with VERTERE and CYCAD collabs
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Tokyo, shared its latest tap list on Instagram. The lineup spans eight beers, including collaborations with VERTERE and CYCAD BREWING, alongside fruit sour, pale ale, stout, Kölsch, and light lager options built for food pairing.
Hop BroNogata's looking lively today. NEIGHBOR's eight taps just dropped, and this already sounds like a perfect daytime drinking plan.
MugiWait, two collab beers right away? Add lunch to that and this is starting to sound dangerously persuasive!
Hop BroThe stars are Pyracantha and HOT BLOOD IPA. The first is a NEIGHBOR x VERTERE NZ Pale Ale, and the second is a NEIGHBOR x CYCAD BREWING West Coast IPA.
MugiHold on, NZ Pale Ale already sounds like quiz material. What makes it different?
Hop BroNZ means New Zealand hops, so you get a bright, breezy aroma. Pyracantha is 5.5%, and it sounds built to go down easy.
MugiOhhh! Then what about West Coast IPA? The name alone makes me feel like ocean wind should hit my bangs!
Hop BroHOT BLOOD IPA is 7.5%, with firm bitterness and snap. And the list also swings through Pony Boy's Hazy IPA and Hilgardite's English Pale Ale, so the range is wide.
MugiWhat kind of lineup is this, range overload? If they've got tart stuff and dark stuff too, I'm ready to get gloriously lost.
Hop BroThey do. There's Mango & Lime Sour as a Fruit Gose, Heinzel as a Kolsch, plus Milk Stout and Mexican Light Lager, so it runs from easy sippers to rich pours.
MugiFruit Gose is the one with salty and sour vibes, right? That name still sounds like it wandered in from the sports drink aisle!
Hop BroExactly. A little salt can sharpen the fruit, and with lamb biryani, a Genovese salt dog, and yuzu-pepper cream pasta on deck, beer and lunch together feels way too easy. I'm already ready for a pint.
MugiThen it's settled. For a beer-first day in Nogata, I want to start with Pyracantha and finish with HOT BLOOD IPA.
NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill in Nogata, Nakano, Tokyo, posted its latest tap list on Instagram. This round features eight beers, led by two collabs, and ranges from a bright fruit sour to a milk stout and a light lager.
Notable taps
- `NEIGHBOR×VERTERE Pyracantha` / NZ Pale Ale (5.5%)
- `NEIGHBOR×CYCAD BREWING HOT BLOOD IPA` / West Coast IPA (7.5%)
- `Mango & Lime Sour` / Fruit Gose (5%)

- `Milk Stout` / Milk Stout (6%)
- `Pony Boy` / Hazy IPA (6%)
- `Heinzel` / Kölsch (4.5%)

Pyracantha brings the kind of crisp hop aroma associated with NZ Pale Ale, while HOT BLOOD IPA is the more bitter, food-friendly pick. The rest of the lineup gives drinkers a wide spread of choices, from the tart and citrusy Fruit Gose to the smoother Kölsch and the roastier Milk Stout.
The post also points to the kitchen: lamb biryani, a Genovese salt dog, and yuzu-kosho tuna cream pasta are all mentioned, making NEIGHBOR an easy stop for both lunch and beer. It is the sort of place where a tap list and a meal can be planned together.
