Hop BroNEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill in Nogata posted this week’s taps, and the standout two new taps are seriously strong.
MugiWhoa! Two new taps? That’s already the kind of thing that gets me excited!
Hop BroOne is FLORA FERMENTATION’s Mexican Amber Lager, Constancia, with honey-like and floral notes layered over caramel malt richness.
MugiWhat? A lager with honey-like notes? Is it sweet?
Hop BroNot sweet in a syrupy way. It has a gentle sweetness from corn that comes through softly, and the finish stays pretty crisp.
MugiOhhh! So the other one, the MIURA Coast IPA, is the bitter one, right?
Hop BroYeah, it’s a IPA from Miura Brewery with a bright citrus hop aroma and solid bitterness, and it even won Gold at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2025.
MugiA Gold Award too? That’s strong! But if the tap list has eight beers lined up, the rest must be tempting too.
Hop BroThere’s And Beer’s super-ripe Nanko ume Weizen, Flora Fermentation’s Cascara Dunkel, plus hazy and DDH West Coast IPA options, so it’s really a side-by-side tasting kind of lineup.
MugiWow, and with charcoal-grilled Caesar salad and that Maple Quattro Cheese Burger, that’s basically cheating!
Hop BroAfter work, if you grab a drink at NEIGHBOR and pair the grilled dishes with draft beer, the day’s a win.
MugiExactly! I want to toast right now and take a detour to Nogata!
