NEIGHBOR Updates 8 Taps, from Akita Akura to BURNT MILL
The beer pub NEIGHBOR in Nogata, Tokyo, has refreshed its eight-tap lineup. Akita Akura Beer, Shiga Kogen Beer, Gangi Brewing, BURNT MILL BREWERY, and FLORA FERMENTATION are all featured, and new food items include charcoal-grilled beef skirt steak and silver salmon meuniere.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR in Nogata, Tokyo has updated its lineup with 8 beers, and this time the range is really wide. From Akita Ginjo Beer to BURNT MILL, it is exactly the kind of list that gets you wanting to compare styles.
MugiWait, 8 beers on tap? Just hearing that and my brain is already turning it into a beer meeting!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is solid too. It spans everything from Weizen to Red IPA, so you can move back and forth between lighter styles and roasty ones.
MugiHold on, what is Weizen? I get that it sounds German, but my palate is still at the beginner level!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it is a beer made with wheat, and its appeal is that it is soft and aromatic. Something like Akita Ginjo Beer / Akita Akura Beer makes for an easy, gentle starting point.
MugiOh, having an entry point like that helps! But Porter and Dunkel also sound interesting. They seem perfect for a night mood!
Hop BroThat is exactly where NEIGHBOR’s strength shows, because you can do a roasty flavor comparison. They have Shiga Kogen Beer’s Porter, Gangi Brewing’s WILY FOX, and even FLORA FERMENTATION’s Waldschrat, so the gradation of toastiness sounds fun.
MugiWhat is that, a toasty flavor gradient? It sounds so delicious! And with BURNT MILL’s Diamond Lake and Crimson Highway too, it suddenly feels like a trip!
Hop BroExactly, the parallel between British and domestic beers is what makes it interesting. With a West Coast Pale Ale, Hazy IPA, Session IPA, and Red IPA all there, you can change your approach depending on your mood that day.
MugiAnd the food has charcoal-grilled beef skirt steak and silver salmon meuniere too, right? There are so many reasons to drink beer that my stomach is lining up ahead of me!
Hop BroAnd they even have the NEIGHBOR TACOS notice in the mix, so it is one of those nights where you can eat, drink, and drink again. In Nogata, a night where you can pair anything from a light pour to a heavy pour is pretty much ideal.
MugiYeah, this is definitely the right call with food. I already want to head to NEIGHBOR for a drink right now!
Hop BroThen it is settled. Tasting across styles is the main event, food is the sidekick, and the night ends with one more drink.
