NEIGHBOR in Nogata announces an 8-beer tap update
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Tokyo, has updated its tap list with eight beers. The lineup spans IPA, Coffee Stout, Hazy IPA, and fruit sour styles, including releases from NOMCRAFT BREWING, Shiokaze Brew Lab, and Fill Brewing.
Hop BroNogata is looking good again: NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill just rotated eight new taps. With NOMCRAFT and Fill Brewing on deck, it feels like a noon opening worth charging straight into.
MugiWait, eight fresh taps at once? That is faucet festival energy! If it runs from IPA to sour, my taste buds are going to start zigzagging.
Hop BroOne standout is NOMCRAFT BREWING's Spruce Moose, a North West IPA. It has that crisp bitterness and slightly classic hoppy edge that really works.
MugiNorth West IPA? What is that, a compass you can drink? I thought maybe you had to face north before every sip!
Hop BroNot a direction rule, just a style family. You tend to get piney aroma and a sharper bitterness, while Fill Brewing's GOODTIMES is a Hazy IPA, so it's cloudy, juicy, and softer.
MugiOooh, cloudy and juicy sounds way more beginner-friendly! But your piney note still makes it sound like someone poured a forest into a glass.
Hop BroThen there's FLORA FERMENTATION's Mizuha / Sake Yeast Beer. It uses sake-rice yeast, which gives it a fuller aroma and a subtle Japanese-style nuance.
MugiSo that means sake-style yeast? Beer showing up dressed like it has plans for a formal tea ceremony?
Hop BroThat image is actually pretty close. You're still fermenting beer wort, but it picks up some fragrant sake-like character. And Shiokaze Blue Lab's Kokotsutsu / Coffee Stout should pair beautifully with the mentaiko cheese omelet.
MugiThat is unfair in the best way. Coffee stout with omelet sounds like a daytime championship move. Add the brown mushroom carpaccio and I'm applauding at the table.
Hop BroPlus CRAFTROCK BREWING's Wheat City, HINO BREWING's Yare Yare Ale, a berry sour, and an apricot fruited sour give you a huge tasting range. Even the notes about dog gear and no bike parking are nicely thought out.
MugiThat level of detail is great. I want Nogata day-drinking now, bouncing from IPA to sour and landing on stout at the end. Let's be honest, we're both fully ready to go drink this lineup.
NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill, located at J-ARC Nogata 1F, 6-30-26 Nogata, Nakano-ku, Tokyo, shared an eight-beer tap update in its latest post. The pub’s setup naturally pairs craft beer with grilled dishes, and the post also notes a 12:00 opening time.
The new lineup covers a wide range of styles, from sake-yeast beer to IPA, stout, and fruit sour. The eight beers listed are:
- FLORA FERMENTATION “Mizuha / Sake Yeast Beer” 8.5%
- CRAFTROCK BREWING “Wheat City / American Wheat” 5%

- オーロイブリューイング “CRACK/B Berry Sour Ale” 5%
- Bighand Bros. Beer “Carnelian / Fruited Sour Ale w/Apricot” 5.5%
The list is especially appealing for drinkers who want contrast: hop-forward beers such as the North West IPA and Hazy IPA sit alongside a roasted Coffee Stout and two fruit-driven sour beers. Food recommendations in the post include mentaiko cheese omelet, brown mushroom carpaccio, octopus carpaccio with genovese sauce, and tuna arrabbiata, making it easy to build a matching beer-and-food session.
The post also includes practical notes for guests bringing dogs and mentions that bicycles cannot be parked in front of the shop. For beer fans in Nogata, this is a solid tap update worth checking before visiting.
