NEIGHBOR introduces eight GW draft beers, including a Teenage Brewing collab IPL
The beer pub NEIGHBOR in Tokyo's Nogata has shared its Golden Week service information along with today's tap list. The eight draft beers include a collaboration IPL from Nobody Brewing and Teenage Brewing, plus a wide lineup ranging from fruit-forward beers to West Coast IPA.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR's Golden Week notice in Nogata is pretty bold today. They have eight draft beers lined up, and it's a setup you can enjoy from noon into the night.
MugiWhat! Eight draft beers? Just choosing sounds like it would take an hour! And they throw that temptation at us during Golden Week? That's unfair!
Hop BroThe one to watch is definitely The Glitch. It's a collaboration IPL from Nobody Brewing by Teenage Brewing, combining lager-like clean character with IPA hop presence.
MugiWhat is that! What's an IPL? Is it different from an IPA? It feels like beer is multiplying just through the alphabet!
Hop BroYou can think of IPL as an IPA with a lager lean. It starts from a cold, crisp base, layers on citrusy hop aroma, and finishes dry, which makes it really pleasant.
MugiOhhh! So with that citrus aroma, it sounds like an easy drink. And if it's not too heavy, it would be perfect as the first beer!
Hop BroExactly, and from there the fun is in the comparison at NEIGHBOR. There's a blueberry wheat, a coffee stout, a blood orange IPA, and a DDH West Coast IPA, so the range is huge.
MugiWhoa, it suddenly feels like an amusement park of flavors! First the blueberry one to spoil us, then the coffee stout to wake us up, then the blood orange one to get us going again, right?
Hop BroAnd the food is strong too. They even have house-made sausages, sirloin steak, and jerk chicken rice, so it's set up to keep the beers flowing.
MugiWait, that's the kind of place where you end up staying from afternoon to night! On May 4 it's open from 12:00 to 24:00, so they're clearly ready for a full-day drinking session!
Hop BroSo today should be the day to decide your first GW beer in Nogata. Start with The Glitch, and before you know it, you'll probably be raising a glass over a second and third round.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I want a beer right now! If we stood in front of NEIGHBOR's eight beers, we'd probably just nod seriously and keep ordering refills!

The lineup also includes a blueberry-tinged wheat beer, a coffee stout, a blood orange IPA, and a West Coast IPA, making for a broad spread of styles that should be fun to compare side by side.
