NEIGHBOR in Nogata lists eight taps, including VERTERE collab Pyracantha
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Tokyo, has shared an eight-beer tap lineup for its weekend lunch service. The selection includes the NEIGHBOR x VERTERE collaboration Pyracantha, plus IPA, gose, stout, lager, and more, making it a broad, food-friendly lineup.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR in Nogata just dropped an eight-tap lineup for weekend lunch, and it absolutely understands day-drinking people.
MugiWait, eight craft beers at lunch? That's a pub disguised as a restaurant, and I respect it.
Hop BroThe headliner is the VERTERE collab Pyracantha, a NZ Pale Ale at 5.5% ABV from NEIGHBOR and VERTERE.
MugiWhoa, NZ Pale Ale? ABV? That's a full jargon combo. My brain just set the glass down.
Hop BroNZ Pale Ale means a pale ale driven by New Zealand hop aroma, and ABV is the alcohol percentage, 5.5%. So it should be bright but still satisfying.
MugiOoh, then that's a perfect first pint for daytime drinking! Friendly start, zero intimidation.
Hop BroAnd the rest goes hard too. Kyoto Brewing's Tokimeki Netsushisen is a Tropical IPA at 7%, Minoh Beer's PLUM GOSE is there too, so it's basically a tasting flight paradise.
MugiWhat even is Gose? It sounds like a sour plum spell. Am I puckering up or casting magic?
Hop BroMostly puckering. Gose leans on tartness and a little salinity, and Nara Brewing's ENNUI throws in adzuki and condensed milk for a brown ale curveball.
MugiAdzuki and condensed milk? That's dessert in a glass pretending to be beer. Craft beer really has no speed limit.
Hop BroIf you want darker stuff, And Beer has Black Swallow Oatmeal Stout, FLORA FERMENTATION brings the White IPA Witte Wieven, and for easy drinkers there are two lager options with NUDE BEER's AMATSUKAZE and NEIGHBOR x Bighand Bros.Beer's Mexican Light Lager.
MugiSo it goes from light to rich, and then you add fried oysters, beef tendon stew, and vongole bianco? The food is stacked too!
Hop BroExactly, and with the Nogata location plus food-friendly taps, dog rules, and bike parking notes, it sounds easy to settle in. Talking about it has me in I need a pint now mode.
MugiSame here, I'm finished. All roads lead to a Pyracantha toast and maybe lunch turning into a very long lunch.
