NEIGHBOR in Nakano posts eight-beer tap list led by FLORA FERMENTATION
The Nogata, Nakano beer pub NEIGHBOR shared an eight-keg lineup featuring Mizuha and Hydra from FLORA FERMENTATION, Ruby Tint from B.M.B BREWERY, and more. House-made sausage hot dogs and other grill dishes are also on offer.
Hop BroToday's eight-tap lineup at NEIGHBOR in Nogata, Nakano looks seriously strong, and it even has FLORA FERMENTATION's Mizuha and Hydra on it.
MugiWait, those names go hard! Mizuha and Hydra sound less like taps and more like a boss battle!
Hop BroAnd Mizuha is a Sake Yeast Beer at 8.5%. It uses sake yeast, so you can get this elegant, fragrant character that's really fun.
MugiHold on, what is sake yeast? It's beer, but suddenly it showed up dressed for a traditional ceremony!?
Hop BroIt's basically the fermentation worker. So the aroma director leans toward sake, and that can bring out soft ginjo-like notes.
MugiWhoa! Then Ruby Tint from B.M.B BREWERY is a strawberry-peach ice cream Smoothie Sour at 4%? That's a full-on dessert slot!
Hop BroMeanwhile, Gangi Brewing's HOME BOUND is a dark mild with oak chips at 3%. It's light, but you still get woody aroma and roasted depth.
MugiWhat is this lineup! My emotions are gridlocked! Tart fruit and then oak and roast? My mouth needs a schedule!
Hop BroThere's more. BALDYS GOOD BEER's WINDMILL is a crushable Session IPA; Hydra is a juicy Hazy IPA; and DD4D's Journeyman IPA is a tight, bitter West Coast IPA.
MugiAnd if there's a Weizen like Yatsugatake Brewery's Rock Weizen plus a berry-forward sour like Oroy Brewing's CRACK, my flight cravings are maxed out! Where do we even start?
Hop BroThey open at 5 p.m., and with house-made sausage hot dogs and carpaccio, the move is pairing every pour. Just talking about it is making me want a drink.
MugiThen it's settled! Toast with Mizuha first, squeeze in Ruby Tint halfway, and finish with Journeyman IPA. This article completely made me want to go drink!
