Nakano's NEIGHBOR Presents an Eight-Tap List Including Numazu Craft
Beer pub NEIGHBOR in Nogata, Tokyo, has unveiled today's tap list. From sour ales and Belgian wit to IPAs, the lineup spans a wide range, and the food menu includes items that pair well with beer, such as hot dogs and sirloin steak.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill in Nogata, Nakano Ward, rolled out today's taps. Kicking things off with Numazu Craft's FLEUR DE SAISON, and lining up eight beers is already a fun move.
MugiWait, eight taps? That's a lot! Just seeing the names would leave me frozen in front of the beer shelf!
Hop BroAnd they've got everything from Saison and Sour Ale to Belgian Wit and IPA, which makes the range feel great. It's set up so you can work your way from lighter beers to more substantial ones, right?
MugiHey, hey, what even is a Hazy IPA with Spice? Is it beer or spice now? My brain is foaming!
Hop BroBasically, it's a type of IPA with a hazy body layered with herbal and spice aromas. There are also Miura Brewery's MIURA Coast IPA and Barebottle Brewing's Miami Rice, so it's interesting to compare the differences in body and depth.
MugiWhoa, even Miyazaki Hideji Beer's Kurikuro sounds strong! A dark beer with chestnut in the name feels like an autumn monster!
Hop BroThat's a Dark Chestnut Ale, and the appeal is the way roasted character meets a chestnut-like sweetness. There are also distinctive offerings like Brasserie Knot's FLOWER and Gangi Brewing's ON CIRCUS, so you can enjoy layers of aroma.
MugiWait, the food is serious too? Not just a classic hot dog, but sirloin steak as well? They're completely trying to get people to drink!
Hop BroThat's the good thing about NEIGHBOR: it has an atmosphere that works both for a casual single drink and for a proper meal. Starting with a sour or Belgian wit, then moving on to an IPA with meat dishes, is the best flow.
MugiJust imagining it makes my throat rumble! Starting with one drink in Nogata and before I know it I'm probably all the way to steak. I really want to go tonight!
