NEIGHBOR Highlights an 8-Tap Lineup Centered on Domestic Beer, Plus Shrimp Fritters
The beer pub NEIGHBOR in Tokyo's Nogata has announced a new tap list. The lineup features eight taps, with Japanese breweries at the core, alongside a cider and one beer from a British brewery, including GAME BREW × maroyaka's "The Beer" and Beppu Brewery's "Yuagari Pils."
Hop BroNEIGHBOR's new tap lineup in Nogata is really good. Eight taps centered on domestic beer, and the food is strong too, so there are way too many reasons to drink there.
MugiWhat! An eight-tap lineup, and it's mostly Japanese? That alone is kind of exciting.
Hop BroFirst up is GAME BREW × maroyaka's "The Beer". The name is direct, but collaborations like this are the kind where you really want to know what the beer is like.
MugiWhat is that! Collaboration beer sounds fun already, but won't the flavors clash? I'm excited by the name, but also a little worried!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. For example, a pilsner like Beppu Brewery's "Yuagari Pils" is easy to drink and doesn't wear you out, and then you have distinctive options like Repubrew's Wano Nigori IPA.
MugiHuh, a pilsner sounds light, but Wano Nigori IPA suddenly comes in swinging. Is IPA really bitter?
Hop BroIPA is a style you enjoy for its hop aroma and bitterness. And with NOMCRAFT BREWING's 10% brown ale on top of that, they've got everything from light and lively to heavyweight all in one lineup.
Mugi10%!? So that's imperial-class? Wait, if I drank that, I'd probably end up talking to the moon on the way home!
Hop BroPlus there's Ace Cider's guava cider, so even people who aren't beer-first can get in easily. Having DD4D's chili IPA and even a British red IPA on the list shows a lot of playful spirit.
MugiWhat, chili too!? The range of flavors is so wide that today's choice could reveal your personality!
Hop BroAnd the food is strong too. With shrimp fritters and apricot sauce, plus burgers and jerk chicken, it's perfect as a partner for tasting through the beers.
MugiI've decided! If it opens today at 5:00 p.m., I might stop by after work. If there's beer and food, then cheers to NEIGHBOR tonight!
