The beer pub NEIGHBOR in Nogata, Tokyo, has released its latest tap list.

Hop BroNogata’s beer pub NEIGHBOR has updated things nicely again. This time there are 8 taps in total, with a range from easy-drinking options to heavier pours.
MugiWhoa, eight kinds? And they added new ones from Monday too? That turnover is insanely fast!
Hop BroExactly. The key point is that three new beers were added from Monday: Numazu Craft’s "FLEUR DE SAISON," Atsumi Peninsula Brewery’s "KOIWAIWAI," and Brasserie Knot’s "FLOWER."
MugiSaison, sour ale, wit... those names alone are hard to grasp! What kind of flavors are they?
Hop BroIn short, saison is aromatic and dry, sour ale is bright and crisp with acidity, and wit tends to bring out wheat and spice notes. In other words, they’re three beers with clear aroma and acidity.
MugiI see! Then they sound perfect for the first drink. Hearing easy to drink makes me want to go for it.
Hop BroAnd on top of that, there’s a pretty interesting lineup, including dark, high-ABV beers like Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s "Kuri Kuro." They also have plenty of IPA choices. NEIGHBOR’s strength is that you can explore such a wide range of flavors in one place.
MugiWait, Kuri Kuro at 9%!? That’s less a beer and more like a final boss slowly coming at you.
Hop BroExactly. They also have Bighand Bros. Beer’s "KURGANTAITE," Gangi Brewing’s "ON CIRCUS," Miura Brewery’s "MIURA Coast IPA," and Barebottle Brewing’s "Miami Rice," so the IPA lineup is full of distinctive characters.
MugiWhat is that, you can totally host a tasting showdown! And if there’s food too, then you’ve basically got a place made for lingering.
Hop BroExactly. They have a classic hot dog, Caesar salad with charcoal-grilled lettuce, sirloin, white liver mousse, jerk chicken rice, rare-grilled tuna, and peperoncino with squid and karasumi, so it’s easy to match the food pairings too.
MugiWhen you think of saison with appetizers and IPA with meat dishes, there’s fun in building your own lineup too. If Nogata can be this much fun, I want to toast right now.
Hop BroYeah, and because the taps turn over so quickly, there’s a different scene every time you go. The best flow is to start with a light first drink today, then before you know it, have another one.
MugiDeal! Today at NEIGHBOR in Nogata, we’ll be chasing the three new beers and end up wanting to drink along with them too!
