Hop BroNEIGHBOR, the beer pub in Nogata, has a brand-new eight-tap lineup. It is exactly the kind of day that makes you want a tasting flight!
MugiEight taps!? That is a serious choice overload. I might freeze in front of the menu!
Hop BroThe new arrivals are KANEKU BREWERY's Weizen on tap and Miura Brewery's MISAKI MAGURO AMBER. Both are in the 5% range, so they are easy everyday picks.
MugiWhat exactly is a Weizen again? A wheat-based beer, right? Is that the one that can smell a little like bread?
Hop BroExactly! A Weizen is a German-style wheat beer, often with banana and clove aromas. The yeast does some wonderful work there.
MugiThe yeast is in charge of fragrance too!? It is the beer world's perfumer! Now I really want to try KANEKU's Weizen.
Hop BroFor hop fans, there is Pyracantha, a NEIGHBOR and VERTERE collaboration: a 5.5% NZ Pale Ale that should show off New Zealand hops beautifully.
MugiDoes NZ Pale Ale mean it swam here from New Zealand? And what does hop character even mean!?
Hop BroNo swimming involved! NZ refers to the hop origin. They often bring citrus and tropical notes, so think of it as a beer made for aroma.
MugiWow, and there is ASOBI かきかきスタウト with cacao, plus CRACKIN' with orange peel!? It is a lineup from rich to refreshing!
Hop BroFor a lighter start, Kyoto Brewing's 4.5% Light Lager, さもありなん, fits nicely. For more depth, try MISAKI MAGURO AMBER from Miura Brewery. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is there for the classics, too.
MugiAll right: Weizen first, then the NZ Pale Ale... but I need the stout too! Nogata tasting mission starts now!
