Hop BroNEIGHBOR in Nogata just put EASY GROVE on tap. It’s Gangi Brewing’s Session Hazy IPA, and they also revealed a full eight-tap lineup.
MugiWait, Session Hazy IPA sounds intense and gentle at the same time. My brain is already slipping on the menu!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. A 4.5% session beer is made to drink easy, and hazy basically means a soft, cloudy feel with a smooth finish.
MugiOooh, citrus and pineapple aromas with that smooth mouthfeel? That sounds like summer got poured into a glass!
Hop BroAnd NEIGHBOR’s board has serious range today. You’ve got Pyracantha from NEIGHBOR x VERTERE, HOT BLOOD IPA from NEIGHBOR x CYCADBREWING, plus sour, stout, Kolsch, and light lager.
MugiHold on, what is Fruit Gose? That Mango & Lime Sour and the brown ale with azuki and condensed milk are way too much information in the best way!
Hop BroThink of gose as a tart beer with salinity. Add fruit and it turns bright and juicy, and then something like ENNUI swings off in a totally different dessert-malt direction.
MugiAnd the food list is way too dangerous. Chicken vindaloo curry, tuna carpaccio, and napolitan? My stomach is already inside the pub!
Hop BroWith EASY GROVE, I’d try the carpaccio pairing to lift the aroma, or go with vindaloo if you want the hops to pop harder. Even the dog and bike notices make the place feel thoughtfully run.
MugiThat settles it, first stop is Nogata. I’m starting with EASY GROVE and somehow ending the night with a stout.
Hop BroThen we’re doing a toast with EASY GROVE. One soft hazy sip and suddenly that whole eight-tap board starts calling your name.
