NEIGHBOR in Nogata Lists Eight Taps, Including Rare Beers Nearing the End
NEIGHBOR, a craft beer pub in Nogata, Tokyo, has shared its October 1 tap list. The selection ranges from Bohemian Pilsner and Soba Ale to fruit ale, dark mild, American IPA, hazy IPA, and two modern ciders.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill in Nogata has eight distinctive taps on now. From pilsners to IPAs, it is a seriously fun lineup.
MugiEight taps?! And not just beer—there are two modern ciders too? Choosing might take longer than the toast!
Hop BroStart with Ushitorra Brewery’s #996 Bohemian Pils. It is a 5% Bohemian Pilsner, perfect when you want a crisp opening pour.
Mugi“Bohemian” sounds so free-spirited! So, what makes it different from a regular pilsner?
Hop BroIt comes from the Bohemian pilsner tradition: gentle malt sweetness and a clean, firm bitterness. The nerdy term is decoction, but simply put, it is a crisp, lightly toasty lager.
MugiDecoction?! That sounds like a spell! Still, if it means easy, refreshing drinking, I am in!
Hop BroFor a curveball, try Himitsu Beer’s “VS” Soba Ale. At 6.5%, it lets you explore the character of buckwheat.
MugiYou can drink soba?! Forget New Year’s noodles—this is buckwheat beer all year! I need to know what it smells like.
Hop BroFor darker beer, there is Bighand Bros.Beer’s Chiastolite, a 3.3% Dark Mild. Then there is NOMCRAFT BREWING’s Dandy Crocodile IPA and NORTHERN BREW’s ABIRA OATS HAZY.
MugiIs Hazy IPA the cloudy-looking one? So, the haze is intentional and not a mistake?
Hop BroExactly! Hazy IPA keeps hop aroma front and center, with cloudiness and a soft texture built into the beer. Think juicy hop-forward IPA.
MugiNUDE BEER’s fruit-and-spice ale KOUN, plus CLEAR YELLOW and CLEAR RED cider, all sound tempting! With many pours nearly gone, we need to head to Nogata soon!
Hop BroThe scallop and spinach cream pasta also joined the menu on October 1, so a tasting flight sounds ideal. Let’s toast at NEIGHBOR tonight—that is the plan.
MugiDone! We will go from a crisp pilsner to IPA in order… wait, my stomach is ready for all eight taps!
