NEIGHBOR shares an eight-beer tap list featuring VERTERE and Hansharo Beer
Tokyo beer pub NEIGHBOR posted its tap list on July 30. The lineup includes two collaboration beers, plus food recommendations such as charcoal-grilled romaine Caesar salad, lamb biryani, and more.
Hop BroNogata's NEIGHBOR just posted an eight-tap lineup, and the spread from collabs to easy drinkers is seriously solid.
MugiWait, there's even a collab with VERTERE? I'm already ready to sit politely in front of the taps and stare!
Hop BroThe headline one is Pyracantha, an NZ Pale Ale, a 5.5% NEIGHBOR x VERTERE beer with that lifted New Zealand hop aroma.
MugiOkay, but New Zealand hops sounds like I should taste a map. My brain is not helping!
Hop BroNot a map, thankfully. Think citrus and white-grape notes. It's basically an aroma flight south in a glass.
MugiThat helps! And then HOT BLOOD IPA with CYCADBREWING is a 7.5% West Coast IPA? Even the name sounds sweaty in the best way.
Hop BroA West Coast IPA is all about sharp hop definition with clean bitterness and snap, so IPA fans are going to lock in fast.
MugiHold on, what is Heinzel's Kolsch? I did not study for the what is Kolsch exam today!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a gentle middle ground: fermented like an ale, but crisp and easy like a lager. And with Mexican Light Lager on too, the lighter side is covered.
Hop BroThen you've got Hansharo Beer's Mango & Lime Sour, Big Hand Bros.Beer's Hilgardite, Left Hand Brewing's Milk Stout, and Barbaric Works' Pony Boy, so the style range is huge.
MugiSour, roasty, creamy, hazy, plus a charred romaine Caesar and lamb biryani? If they open at 5:00 p.m., my stomach is already in Nogata!
Hop BroAs long as we mind the dog-visit notes and bike parking, I'm starting with Pyracantha and chasing it with HOT BLOOD IPA. The tonight's beer plan basically writes itself.
