NEIGHBOR in Nogata Reveals an Eight-Beer Tap List Featuring VERTERE and Minoh Beer
NEIGHBOR, a craft beer pub in Nogata, Tokyo, has announced an eight-beer tap list. The selection spans sour beer, IPA, lager, brown ale, and stout, including collaborations with VERTERE and Bighand Bros.Beer.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR, about a minute from Nogata Station, has released an eight-beer tap list. This looks like a lot of fun to explore!
MugiWhat, from sour beers to dark ones? With eight beers on tap, a beginner might freeze in front of the taps!
Hop BroThe headline beer is Pyracantha, a collaboration with VERTERE. It’s an NZ Pale Ale with the bright aroma you’d expect from New Zealand hops.
MugiWhat even is an NZ Pale Ale? When you say bright hop aroma, we’re not drinking flowers, right?
Hop BroNot a bouquet, thankfully! Hops can smell like citrus or tropical fruit, and this pale ale is light and great for starting a session.
MugiOoh! Then there’s Kyoto Brewing’s Tokimeki Neshisen—I want to order it just for that name!
Hop BroThat’s a Tropical IPA. IPA is a style that highlights hop aroma and bitterness, and this one centers on tropical fruit notes.
MugiThen what about Minoh Beer’s PLUM GOSE? Plum-driven tartness—is this a pickled-plum contest for beer?
Hop BroClose in spirit, but much fresher! Gose is a beer style known for tanginess and a touch of salt, so PLUM GOSE sounds great between bites.
MugiI’m also curious about Nara Brewing’s ENNUI with adzuki beans and condensed milk. Condensed milk Brown Ale—is that dessert?
Hop BroENNUI layers sweet nuances over rich malt. For the finale, And Beer’s Black Swallow has the roasty character of an Oatmeal Stout.
MugiThere’s even a Kitayama cedar lager, a White IPA, and a Mexican Light Lager! With fried oysters or chicken vindaloo, I want a full tasting flight!
Hop BroExactly—go from crisp lagers to IPA, sour beer, and stout. Taps change, so check the latest list, then let’s toast at NEIGHBOR in Nogata!
MugiDone! Pyracantha first, Black Swallow last... ah, I want a beer now!
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Nakano, Tokyo, has shared an eight-beer tap list. Located on the first floor of J-ARC Nogata, about a one-minute walk from Nogata Station, the venue combines a rotating craft beer selection with food in a relaxed neighborhood setting.
The list includes “Pyracantha,” a collaboration between NEIGHBOR and VERTERE. As a New Zealand Pale Ale, it offers a hop-forward opening pour. Kyoto Brewing’s “Tokimeki Netsu Shisen” is a Tropical IPA, while Minoh Beer’s “PLUM GOSE” brings plum-led acidity in a Plum Gose.
Nara Brewing’s “ENNUI” is a Brown Ale brewed with azuki beans and condensed milk, giving the beer an especially distinctive ingredient profile. And Beer’s “Black Swallow” is an Oatmeal Stout suited to drinkers looking for a darker, roasted finish.
The remaining taps include NUDE BEER’s “AMATSUKAZE,” a West Coast Lager made with Kitayama cedar; FLORA FERMENTATION’s “Witte Wieven,” a White IPA; and “Mexican Light Lager,” a collaboration between NEIGHBOR and Bighand Bros.Beer. From crisp lagers to aromatic IPAs, tart beer, and stout, the lineup offers plenty of room for a style-by-style tasting.
Food options include oysters with pear and mint sauce, beef tendon stew with harissa, and chicken vindaloo curry. Guests can enjoy the beers on their own or build pairings around the menu. Since the taps change regularly, checking NEIGHBOR’s latest announcement before visiting is recommended.
