NEIGHBOR in Nogata adds Bighand Bros. Beer FLINT and eight taps
NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill in Nogata, Tokyo, updated its tap list in a July 7 post and introduced Bighand Bros. Beer’s FLINT. The lineup also includes eight beers from FLORA FERMENTATION, DD4D Brewing, and other breweries, along with a Tanabata-only cocktail and beer-friendly food.
Hop BroI had to bring up Nogata's NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill today. Freshly tapped FLINT is leading an eight-beer list they posted on July 7.
MugiWait, eight taps at once? That's exactly how I end up staring at the board for ten minutes. Which one is the star?
Hop BroThe headline beer is Bighand Bros. Beer's Cold IPA FLINT. It pushes citrusy hop aroma and bitterness, then uses rice to keep the body light.
MugiHold on, what is a Cold IPA? Is that just an IPA that got extra fridge time?
Hop BroClose, but the fun part is the design. Rice keeps it lean, so you get crisp lager-like drinkability with IPA-level hop character.
MugiOh wow, bitter but breezy sounds perfect for summer. Drinking that on Tanabata feels weirdly festive.
Hop BroAnd the supporting cast is stacked too: FLORA FERMENTATION's Mizuha and Hydra, plus DD4D Brewing's Journeyman IPA on the same board.
MugiNo way, Mizuha sounds like sake. Is that actually beer? My brain has a full style traffic jam right now.
Hop BroThat one is a sake yeast beer, so the yeast character really stands out. Add a smoothie sour, a dark mild, and a weizen, and it's basically a tasting-flight paradise.
MugiAnd with pesto salt dog and nachos on the food side, that's a post-work victory route. One stop and I'm fully taken care of.
Hop BroWhat helps is doors open at 5 too, so it's easy to drop in. I'd start with FLINT, then move into Hydra or Journeyman IPA.
MugiThat drinking order is officially approved. Now I want the Tanabata cocktail too, and I kind of need to sprint to NEIGHBOR.
