NEIGHBOR Opens Two New Kegs from Yellow Beer Works and CAMADO BREWERY
The beer pub NEIGHBOR in Nogata, Tokyo, has updated its tap list. It has newly added Yellow Beer Works' Rice Lager and CAMADO BREWERY's Kasagi Yuzz Haze, bringing the total to eight taps with a broad lineup ranging from lager to IPA, sour, and stout.
Hop BroThe tap list NEIGHBOR updated in Nogata, Tokyo is pretty interesting. They added Yellow Beer Works' Rice Lager and CAMADO BREWERY's Kasagi Yuzz Haze, and I like that they're going at it with eight taps total.
MugiWait, they have a full eight taps!? Not just lagers, but IPA and sour too? I'm going to get lost at the bar today!
Hop BroThat's where NEIGHBOR is strong: the lineup is broad. When you have lager, sour, Belgian wit, brown styles, and IPA all on tap, it feels like a shop that really knows how to build a tasting experience.
MugiHey, what is a Rice Lager? A rice beer sounds like something you'd drink next to a bowl of rice!
Hop BroGood call. Yellow Beer Works' version is a lager made with plenty of rice they grow themselves, so it's crisp and light, but still has a gentle rice sweetness. It's the kind of beer that slips in smoothly when the weather starts warming up.
MugiSo it's crisp and light but still has sweetness. That sounds like something you could drink gulp after gulp, and it'd be perfect as a first beer!
Hop BroThe other one is great too. CAMADO BREWERY's Kasagi Yuzz Haze is a Hazy IPA made with pesticide-free yuzu, and it layers Japanese citrus aroma on top of hop-driven fruitiness.
MugiWhoa, just hearing Japanese citrus aroma wakes up my nose! But a Hazy IPA is one of those cloudy beers, right?
Hop BroExactly, it's an IPA aimed at a juicy drinking profile. The haze is just about appearance; the flavor is all about balancing bitterness and fruit character. Kasagi Yuzz Haze adds yuzu's refreshing brightness on top, so it has a really clean outline.
MugiAnd the food is way too much of a beer thief! House-made sausage hot dogs, sirloin steak, they're clearly trying to make us keep drinking!
Hop BroThe shop opens at 12:00, so it's nice that you can take your time from lunchtime. There's also NEIGHBOR RETRO from May 26 to 28, so it's the perfect moment to keep up with both the staples and the new kegs.
MugiIt's totally a perfect day for a tasting battle! Start with Rice Lager to set your palate, jump into the aroma with Kasagi Yuzz Haze, and then end up wanting just one more glass!

Its clean finish and gentle rice sweetness are its defining traits, making it an easy choice for warmer weather. CAMADO BREWERY's Kasagi Yuzz Haze is a Hazy IPA made with pesticide-free yuzu.
