NEIGHBOR rolls out an eight-beer tap list with FLORA FERMENTATION and DD4D
NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill in Nogata, Tokyo, posted an updated eight-beer tap list on July 10, featuring Mizuha from FLORA FERMENTATION and Journeyman IPA from DD4D Brewing. The bar also noted that a new event burger is being tested for Monday service.
Hop BroNogata's NEIGHBOR just rolled out eight fresh taps today. From FLORA FERMENTATION's Mizuha to DD4D Brewing's Journeyman IPA, the range is seriously fun.
MugiWait, all eight are characters? Even the names sound intense. My brain is already foaming trying to choose!
Hop BroThe eye-catcher is FLORA FERMENTATION's Mizuha, a sake yeast beer at 8.5%. It uses yeast associated with sake, so the aroma lands differently from a usual ale.
MugiWhat is that! Yeast from sake in beer? That sounds like two drinks accidentally booked the same meeting room. How does it change the taste?
Hop BroHere, yeast is basically the microbe that drives fermentation, a kind of blueprint for aroma. Mizuha can hint at ginjo-like fragrance while still drinking like a proper beer, which is the fun part.
MugiOoh! Then I'm looking at B.M.B BREWERY's Ruby Tint. A smoothie sour with strawberry, peach, and ice cream sounds more like dessert than restraint!
Hop BroTotally fair. And Gangi Brewing's HOME BOUND is a dark mild with oak at 3%, Bighand Bros. Beer's FLINT is a Cold IPA, and NUDE BEER's SUZUKA-Ryofu is a session white IPA with sansho, so the lineup balances easy-drinking and weird-in-a-good-way.
MugiThat is a lot! Is Cold IPA season like the beer version of chilled noodles? And sansho too? Beer people really refuse to behave!
Hop BroThe name sounds breezy, but Cold IPA is about aiming for lager-like snap with IPA hop character, so the bitterness stays sharp. Put that next to DD4D Brewing's West Coast-style Journeyman IPA, and you've got a killer hot-weather flight.
MugiAnd they're also testing a new burger, right? If that starts Monday, I want a full strategy session with the Genovese salt dog and chili con carne nachos.
Hop BroExactly. NEIGHBOR opens at 5 p.m., and the food range makes pairing easy from light plates to something real. They even have Oroi Brewing's CRACK/B, a berry sour ale, so this is a proper sip-and-snack day.
MugiI can't help it, I'm getting pulled to Nogata. Hydrate first, then Mizuha, Journeyman IPA, and that burger in order, please!

Recommended food options include a genovese salt dog, brown mushroom carpaccio, octopus carpaccio with genovese sauce, chili con carne nachos, and shirasu and shiso aglio e olio. That gives the tap list a clear food-friendly shape, especially for guests looking to pair hop-forward beers with grill-leaning dishes.
