NEIGHBOR lines up eight draft beers ahead of its July 29 second anniversary
NEIGHBOR, a craft beer pub in Nogata, Nakano, Tokyo, shared a new tap list ahead of its July 29 second anniversary. The lineup includes collab beers such as NEIGHBOR×VERTERE Pyracantha and NEIGHBOR×CYCADBREWING HOT BLOOD IPA.
Hop BroNogata's NEIGHBOR has a stacked 8-tap lineup right now. Heading into its July 29 second anniversary, it's pouring a row of collab and seasonal kegs.
MugiWhat! Anniversary beer is still on? That's dangerous in the best way. Eight options is enough to make my eyes do laps around the tap list!
Hop BroThe headliners are Pyracantha and HOT BLOOD. NEIGHBOR x VERTERE's Pyracantha is an NZ Pale Ale, and NEIGHBOR x CYCADBREWING's HOT BLOOD IPA is a West Coast IPA, so the hop character really gets to show off.
MugiHold on, NZ Pale Ale? What is that! Is it basically the bright, refreshing New Zealand cousin?
Hop BroPretty much. New Zealand hop aroma is the star, so you often get lively notes like white grape and citrus. A West Coast IPA is drier and more bitter, and HOT BLOOD IPA at 7.5% brings real punch too.
MugiOhhh! So it's tropical nose, crisp bite. The name already sounds intense, and now I want a glass even more!
Hop BroAnd the range is wide. From easy to dark covers it well: Minamishinshu Beer's Apple Hop Shinano Gold is a Fruit Beer, while Left Hand Brewing's Milk Stout handles the smooth, dark side.
MugiWait, Yuruburu spelt is on there too? That name sounds so relaxed, but Hazy IPA makes it sound secretly serious!
Hop BroThat one's fun too. Spelt in a Hazy can help give it a softer texture, and FLORA FERMENTATION's Korpokkur is a Saison with spruce tips, so it should bring a foresty green note that works with food.
MugiWhat even is spruce tips! My brain is suddenly hiking through the woods with a beer in hand!
Hop BroNEIGHBOR also has the craftbeer and grill edge, so you can pair these with gazpacho, drool-worthy tuna carpaccio, or carbonara. Plus lighter picks like Yellow Monkey Brewing's KAIZOKU NZ Pilsner keep the whole menu flexible.
MugiThat settles it, we need to go before the anniversary. I'm starting with the Apple Hop, you're grabbing Pyracantha, and neither of us is stopping at one.
