NEIGHBOR announces July 25-26 second-anniversary event with an eight-tap lineup
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Tokyo, has announced a second-anniversary event for July 25-26. The tap list includes a NEIGHBOR x CYCAD collab West Coast IPA, a coffee stout, a New Zealand pilsner, and other styles across eight taps.
Hop BroNogata's beer pub NEIGHBOR is throwing a second anniversary event on July 25 and 26, with an eight-tap spread that covers a lot of ground.
MugiWhat! Eight taps for the party? So this isn't just IPA all the way down, right?
Hop BroThe headliner is NEIGHBOR x CYCAD BREWING's HOT BLOOD IPA. It's a 7.5% West Coast IPA with the kind of snap you want front and center.
MugiWait, West Coast IPA sounds stylish, but what does it actually taste like?
Hop BroThink sharp bitterness and a clean finish. The aroma pops, then it cuts off neatly. Fill Brewing's GOODTIMES, on the other hand, is a juicier Hazy IPA.
MugiNo way, then what's with Korpokkur's Spruce Tips? Did someone dry-hop it with a forest?
Hop BroBasically young spruce shoots. They add a herbal, woodsy freshness, so that saison feels like you're drinking cool air from the trees.
MugiThat is ridiculous in the best way. Flavor range sounds huge here. What else is on?
Hop BroNOMCRAFT's Spruce Moose is a North West IPA, Shiokaze Blue Lab's Kogotsutsu is a Coffee Stout, Nara Brewing's ENNUI is a brown ale with azuki and condensed milk, and Yellow Monkey's KAIZOKU is an NZ Pilsner. It's a great lineup for side-by-side tasting.
MugiAnd the food goes all the way to mentaiko cream pasta? Brown mushroom carpaccio, octopus carpaccio with genovese, and edamame cumin butter all sound dangerous.
Hop BroI'm already planning first pour HOT BLOOD IPA. Tap one is still Coming soon..., anniversary socks go on sale July 24, and if you're bringing a dog you need a leash, diaper, and crate, plus no parking bikes right in front.
MugiI'm in. From HOT BLOOD to KAIZOKU, I want the full tasting run and then a big cheers to NEIGHBOR turning two.
NEIGHBOR is a beer pub on the first floor in Nogata, Nakano, Tokyo. In the post, the shop says it is preparing for its second-anniversary event on July 25 and 26, and notes that its anniversary socks will go on sale from the 24th.
Tap list
The lineup is built around eight taps, with slot No. 1 listed as "Coming soon...". The announced beers are HOT BLOOD IPA from NEIGHBOR × CYCAD BREWING (West Coast IPA, 7.5%), Spruce Moose from NOMCRAFT BREWING (North West IPA, 6.5%), 珈々津々 from Shiokaze Brew Lab (Coffee Stout, 7.5%), ENNUI from Nara Brewing (Brown Ale w/ Azuki & Condensed Milk, 5.5%), GOODTIMES from Fill Brewing (Hazy IPA, 5.5%), Korpokkur from FLORA FERMENTATION (Saison w/ Spruce Tips, 5%), and KAIZOKU from Yellow Monkey Brewing (NZ Pilsner, 4.5%).
It is a well-balanced list that spans IPA, stout, brown ale, saison, and pilsner. That mix makes the tap room useful for drinkers who want to compare hop-forward beers with darker, sweeter, and more rustic styles in one visit.
The post also highlights recommended dishes: brown mushroom carpaccio, octopus carpaccio with Genovese sauce, edamame with cumin butter, and mentaiko cream pasta. The food selection suggests a straightforward beer-pub setup where lighter starters and richer plates can be matched to different beers.
The shop also asks dog owners to bring a leash, diaper, and cage if they visit with pets, and notes that bicycles cannot be parked directly in front of the venue. For a craft-beer stop in Nogata, the tap list and house rules are both worth checking before heading over.
