Eight Taps Refreshed at NEIGHBOR in Nogata, Including GAME BREW × maroyaka
Nogata beer pub NEIGHBOR has published its latest tap list on Instagram. This time, the 8-TAP lineup spans a wide range, including a Cold Pale Ale, Hazy IPA, Porter with Soba, and Guava Craft Cider. It is a selection that pairs well with charcoal-grilled dishes.
Hop BroAt NEIGHBOR in Nogata, they just did a big 8-tap refresh. From GAME BREW × maroyaka's Cold Pale Ale to a Hazy IPA and a porter, it's a lineup with a really wide range.
MugiWhoa! Eight taps refreshed means it's already fun before you even choose! And they have Cold Pale Ale, Hazy IPA, and even cider?
Hop BroExactly. What's smart is that they start with easy-drinking, lighter styles. Beppu Brewery's Pilsner and GAME BREW × maroyaka's "The Beer / Cold Pale Ale" are perfect for setting the palate.
MugiHmm! But what makes a Cold Pale Ale "cold"? If it just means cold beer, I could make that myself!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. It's a name that suggests the crispness of low-temperature fermentation. It doesn't push bitterness too hard, so it drinks cleanly and pairs really well with the first half of a charcoal-grilled meal.
MugiI see! Then things like Repubrew's Wano Nigo IPA sound like something you'd want to sip slowly toward the end. Hazy IPA already sounds cloudy and rich just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. That juicy haze is the appeal of Hazy IPA. And with something like DD4D Brewing's Don Jalapeño, a chili-infused IPA, NEIGHBOR is definitely going bold.
MugiWait, a chili-infused IPA? What is that! The idea of adding heat to beer suddenly feels like a breeze from Mexico!
Hop BroAnd it's not just about pushing boundaries. They also have FLORA FERMENTATION × NUDE's porter with soba and Ace Cider's guava cider, which is impressive. Sweetness, toastiness, and acidity are all there.
MugiWow, they're serious about the food too! Steak, charcoal-grilled squid, and all that - once you see that, there's no reason not to drink.
Hop BroThat's why the right move is to enjoy charcoal-grilled food and draft beer together at NEIGHBOR, just a short walk from Nogata Station's north exit. Next time, let's start with a Pilsner and finish with a Red IPA.
MugiAgreed! I'm already too excited for the next drink - I feel like I'm being pulled toward Nogata already!
NEIGHBOR in Nogata has published its latest tap list on Instagram. The post announced that it would "open today at 5:00 p.m." while introducing the craft beers now on 8 taps. The lineup ranges from pale styles to hazy beers, porters, brown ales, and ciders, offering a broad range for tasting side by side.
Today's lineup
- "The Beer / Cold Pale Ale" from `GAME BREW × maroyaka`
- "Yuagari Pils / Pilsner" from `Beppu Brewery`
- "Wano Nigo IPA / Hazy IPA" from `Repubrew`
- "Tayu / Porter with Soba" from `FLORA FERMENTATION × NUDE`
- "Habano Noir / Imperial Brown Ale" from `NOMCRAFT BREWING`
- "Ace Guava / Guava Craft Cider" from `Ace Cider`
- "Don Jalapeño / Chili Infused IPA" from `DD4D Brewing`
- "Crimson Highway / Red IPA" from `BURNT MILL BREWERY`
Looking at the lineup, in addition to hop-forward IPAs and Hazy IPAs, there is a porter made with soba, a guava craft cider, and even a chili-infused IPA, making for a remarkably wide range of flavors. It seems like a good idea to start with something light like the pilsner or Cold Pale Ale, then move into the brown ale or Red IPA later in the session.
NEIGHBOR is a beer pub located about a two-minute walk from the north exit of Nogata Station, recognizable by its green door. It is known for serving draft beers selected from breweries in Japan and abroad, paired with charcoal-grilled dishes. On weekends it opens from noon, and pets such as dogs and cats are allowed, giving it the flexibility to accommodate everything from a casual neighborhood stop to a destination drink.
The post also listed recommended food pairings for the day, including steak, hirasuzuki carpaccio, charcoal-grilled squid, seared tuna, jerk chicken rice, and tuna pasta with yuzu pepper cream sauce. NEIGHBOR stands out not only as a place to enjoy beer on its own, but also as a place to enjoy it together with food.
Since the shop always rotates between 8 and 10 draft beers, the next visit is sure to bring a different drink to discover. If you're drinking craft beer in Nogata, this is one place worth checking first.
