NEIGHBOR in Nogata opens FLORA FERMENTATION's Witte Wieven and lines up eight taps
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Nakano, is open as usual during the Obon period. The bar has tapped FLORA FERMENTATION's White IPA Witte Wieven and is pouring a broad eight-beer lineup, from collabs to stout and gose.
Hop BroToday’s topic is NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill in Nogata, where a new FLORA FERMENTATION tap just went on. Their White IPA "Witte Wieven" joined the list, and they’re running normal hours over Obon with eight taps on.
MugiWhat! What even is a White IPA? It’s an IPA, but white? Beer really loves confusing beginners in the most stylish way possible!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It blends Belgian yeast spice with the light feel of a wheat-forward beer, then layers in IPA-style hop aroma. "Witte Wieven" is described with citrus and tropical fruit notes, but the body stays pretty light.
MugiHold on, that was a full-speed nerd attack. Belgian yeast means what, exactly? Translate before my tongue files a complaint!
Hop BroIn simple terms, you get a soft spicy aroma, then bright notes like orange and tropical fruit on top. It doesn’t drink heavy, so it’s an easy first pint kind of beer.
MugiOhhh, nice! A light drinking feel sounds very beginner-friendly. The name sounds like a witch might appear, but the beer itself seems super approachable.
Hop BroAnd the rest of the lineup is strong too. The comparison lineup is clear: NEIGHBOR x VERTERE’s NZ Pale Ale "Pyracantha," Kyoto Brewing’s Tropical IPA "Tokimeki Netsushisen," and Minoh Beer’s "PLUM GOSE."
MugiWait, those names are wild. These beer names have drama! "Tokimeki Netsushisen" sounds less like a beer and more like a reality show subtitle.
Hop BroIt keeps going: Nara Brewing’s "ENNUI" Brown Ale w/ Azuki & Condensed Milk, Shiokaze Blue Lab’s "Kokotsutsu" Coffee Stout, Gangi Brewing’s "EASY GROVE" Session Hazy IPA, and NEIGHBOR x Bighand Bros.Beer’s "Mexican Light Lager." It covers IPA to stout, so you can build a great tasting flight from light to meal-friendly.
MugiAnd they’ve got mint sausage and hot dogs too, right? The food pairing angle makes this dangerous in the best way. I already want to start with "Witte Wieven" and stay for another round!
