NEIGHBOR in Nogata updates eight taps, including three collaborations
NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill in Nogata, Nakano Ward, has shared a new tap lineup. Three house collaboration beers are back on tap, alongside a broad mix that runs from lager and pale ale to IPA, stout, and fruit beer.
Hop BroNogata's NEIGHBOR just rolled out 8 fresh taps, with missed anniversary kegs plus three house collabs back on.
MugiWhat! Three collabs back at once? That is not a tap update, that is a sequel.
Hop BroThe headliners are NEIGHBOR originals: Pyracantha with VERTERE, HOT BLOOD IPA with CYCADBREWING, and a Mexican Light Lager with Bighand Bros.Beer.
MugiNo way! And West Coast IPA sounds like it ferments in sea breeze. Should I be scared?
Hop BroNot ocean wind, just flavor structure. HOT BLOOD IPA is a clean-cut bitterness kind of IPA, with crisp edges and aroma.
MugiOhhh! Then what about NZ Pale Ale for Pyracantha? Is that like a cheerful beer fresh off a New Zealand flight?
Hop BroThat description is reckless, but not totally wrong. Pyracantha is easy-drinking but bright, light on its feet with lively hop character.
MugiI am listening. And the Mexican Light Lager uses corn and wheat, plus served with lime? That sounds dangerously food-friendly.
Hop BroThe supporting cast is strong too: Hilgardite brings toast and biscuit notes, Shiga Kogen's Yuru Blue spelt covers the Hazy IPA lane, Heinzel is a crisp Kolsch, and there is even Left Hand Milk Stout.
MugiSo it goes from lager to IPA to stout, and even works with gaspacho or carbonara? That is a food-close tap list if I have ever heard one.
Hop BroThat really feels like a grill-focused pub lineup. With the 7/29 second anniversary coming too, I am ready to open with the lime-tipped lager.
MugiThen I am starting with Pyracantha and saving room for Milk Stout. Meet me in Nogata before I start ordering in my head!

The post notes that lime can be added to the lager. Hilgardite is described as having toast- and biscuit-like aromatics with a citrus peel note, while Heinzel is presented as a clean, light Kölsch.
Food suggestions include gazpacho, tuna carpaccio with soy-based sauce, octopus carpaccio with genovese sauce, fig carpas, and carbonara. The grill-focused setting makes the bar a straightforward place to pair beer with a full meal.
