NEIGHBOR taps Minoh Beer PLUM GOSE and lists eight beers
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Tokyo, has tapped Minoh Beer PLUM GOSE. The current lineup also includes collaboration beers with VERTERE, CYCADBREWING, and Bighand Bros.Beer, alongside food pairings and weekend service from noon.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR in Nogata, Tokyo just tapped Minoh Beer’s PLUM GOSE. With all eight taps lined up, this is the kind of menu that makes daytime drinking sound very reasonable.
MugiWait, what is a PLUM GOSE!? Is it plum booze, beer, or some kind of summer plot twist?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Gose is a style with a gentle tartness and a light salty edge, and this one adds ripe Nanko plum fruit plus mellow plum-vinegar acidity.
MugiWhoa, so it’s not liquid umeboshi after all. It’s more like a bright summer beer with plum character?
Hop BroExactly, and NEIGHBOR’s tap list has range. The full eight-tap lineup includes NEIGHBOR x VERTERE’s Pyracantha as a NZ Pale Ale and NEIGHBOR x CYCADBREWING’s HOT BLOOD IPA as a West Coast IPA.
MugiHold on, NZ Pale Ale? You can’t just throw abbreviations at me like that! Your beer explanations sometimes sound like speed chess.
Hop BroNZ means New Zealand hops. Tropical hop character is the shortcut: think white grape and citrus aromas. And West Coast IPA usually means crisp and bitter.
MugiOkay, that helps! And if they’ve got everything from brown ale to Kolsch, I can pick by mood instead of pretending I have a strategy.
Hop BroThe food lineup is strong too. Chicken vindaloo curry, a Genovese salt dog, and spicy tuna carpaccio are all in the mix, and they open at 12:00 on weekends.
MugiThat is absolutely a first-beer-at-noon situation. I want to start with the PLUM GOSE and then work my way across the taps.
Hop BroSame here. PLUM GOSE first just makes sense; on a hot day, that fruity plum note and soft salinity sound perfect.
