NEIGHBOR unveils 7-tap lineup ahead of its July 25-26 anniversary event
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Nakano, Tokyo, has revealed its tap list ahead of its 2nd anniversary event on July 25 and 26. The lineup includes a collaboration IPA with CYCAD BREWING, plus beers from NOMCRAFT, Nara Brewing, FLORA FERMENTATION and more.
Hop BroThe big talk in Nogata is NEIGHBOR's 2nd anniversary on July 25 and 26, and the tap list just dropped.
MugiWait, a seven-tap lineup already sounds like a full-on party!
Hop BroAnd the headliner is HOT BLOOD IPA, a NEIGHBOR x CYCAD BREWING collab, brewed as a 7.5% West Coast IPA.
MugiWhat is that! West Coast IPA suddenly sounds like a geography class with alcohol.
Hop BroIt basically means a crisp bitter IPA with a drier finish and sharp hop aroma, not a soft juicy one.
MugiOoh! Then GOODTIMES Hazy IPA from Fill Brewing must be the total opposite, right?
Hop BroPretty much. Hazy IPA is softer and cloudier, while NOMCRAFT's Spruce Moose, a North West IPA, can lean piney and snappy.
MugiPiney? Beer turning into a forest? And FLORA FERMENTATION has spruce tips in it too? Am I ordering a pint or going hiking?
Hop BroSpruce tips are young spruce shoots, and they add citrusy, woodsy aroma. That's why Korpokkur the saison sounds perfect for summer.
MugiWow. And ENNUI brown ale has azuki and condensed milk? That is an absurdly strong dessert-beer plot twist.
Hop BroThen you can go deep with ShioKaze Blue Lab's Coffee Stout and finish clean with Yellow Monkey Brewing's KAIZOKU, an NZ Pilsner, which makes a whole story in your glass. Now I want one.
MugiAdd octopus carpaccio, zeppolini, mentaiko cream pasta, and even a house mint mojito, and that food lineup is just unfair. Plus there's still one Coming soon slot, so now I want to be there on July 25 and 26 too!
NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill in Nogata, Nakano-ku, Tokyo, has updated its tap list ahead of its 2nd anniversary event scheduled for July 25 and 26. One tap is still marked `Coming soon...`, but the current lineup already spans a wide range of styles, from a collaboration West Coast IPA to coffee stout, saison and NZ pilsner.
On tap
- NEIGHBOR × CYCAD BREWING HOT BLOOD IPA / West Coast IPA (7.5%)
- NOMCRAFT BREWING Spruce Moose / North West IPA (6.5%)
- Shiokaze BrewLab 珈々津々 / Coffee Stout (7.5%)
- Nara Brewing ENNUI / Brown Ale w/ Azuki & Condensed Milk (5.5%)
- Fill Brewing GOODTIMES / Hazy IPA (5.5%)
- FLORA FERMENTATION Korpokkur / Saison w/ Spruce Tips (5%)
- Yellow Monkey Brewing KAIZOKU / NZ Pilsner (4.5%)
The list is built for range: hop-forward IPAs up front, a richer brown ale and coffee stout in the middle, and a crisp pilsner to finish. It looks like a lineup that can be enjoyed one glass at a time, especially in the heat of summer.
Food recommendations on the post include octopus carpaccio with genovese sauce, zeppoline, and mentaiko cream pasta. The bar also mentions house-made mint mojitos, freshly squeezed summer mandarin sours, and house-made plum sours, making it easy to move between beer and lighter drinks. For drinkers looking for a place to pair beer with food in the Nogata area, this is a useful stop.
The venue also notes pet-visit rules and that bicycles cannot be parked in front of the store, so it is worth checking the guidance before heading over for the anniversary weekend.
