NEIGHBOR in Tokyo's Nogata to hold 2nd anniversary event on July 25-26
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Nakano, Tokyo, will hold a two-day 2nd anniversary event on July 25 and 26. The announcement includes a debut for a special anniversary beer, the return of two collaboration beers, and red-themed food and drink specials.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR in Nogata is throwing a two-day anniversary bash on July 25 and 26. Their actual second anniversary is July 29, but that lands on a weekday, so they moved the party to the weekend.
MugiOoh, a weekend pre-party for the anniversary? That is extremely considerate behavior toward people who want excuses to drink!
Hop BroAnd on the 25th, they’re unveiling a special anniversary beer brewed for them by VERETERE out in Okutama. That alone is enough to get my attention.
MugiWait, and there are three original beers in total? That sounds less like a suggestion and more like a command to do a tasting flight!
Hop BroOne re-tapped beer is HOT BLOOD IPA from NEIGHBOR x CYCADBREWING. It’s a West Coast IPA at 7.5%, so it’s got some real backbone.
MugiHold on, West Coast IPA sounds cool and intimidating. What does that actually taste like?
Hop BroBasically, it has sharp, crisp bitterness with a citrusy hop aroma, and it finishes dry instead of heavy. And “re-tapped” just means they’re putting a popular keg back on again for an encore.
MugiAn encore keg return? Why does that make it sound like the beer is taking a bow on stage? I kind of love that.
Hop BroThe other one is VANADINITE from Bighand bros. x NEIGHBOR. That’s a Mexican Light Lager at 4.5%, so it should be easy-drinking and super refreshing.
MugiThat’s a big style swing from bitter IPA to light lager. My taste buds are going to need a tiny strategy meeting!
Hop BroAnd NEIGHBOR already does great grilled food, plus they’re planning red-themed food specials for the event. It sounds like the whole place will feel like one big anniversary pairing.
MugiI’m sold. I want an anniversary toast in Nogata and a full run from the anniversary beer to HOT BLOOD IPA to VANADINITE!
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Nakano, Tokyo, will hold its 2nd anniversary event over two days on July 25 and 26. In the post, the shop says its actual anniversary falls on July 29, but the celebration will be moved to the weekend.

- HOT BLOOD IPA by NEIGHBOR × CYCADBREWING - West Coast IPA, 7.5%
- VANADINITE by Bighand bros. × NEIGHBOR - Mexican Light Lager, 4.5%

Food and drinks with a red-themed special menu are also planned, with more details to come. As a beer pub with grill dishes, NEIGHBOR is the kind of neighborhood spot where craft beer fans can settle in and spend time with the lineup.
