NEIGHBOR updates its tap list with eight beers led by B.M.B Brewery
NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill in Nogata, Nakano, has published an eight-beer tap list led by B.M.B Brewery's The Giving Oak. The lineup spans wood-aged brown porter, sour ale, pilsner, fruit weizen, Belgian dubbel, hazy IPA, English IPA, and West Coast IPA, with food-friendly pairings to match.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill in Nogata just did an 8-tap refresh. They’ve even got B.M.B Brewery’s "The Giving Oak," which is exactly how you get pulled in after work.
MugiWhat! That’s a total post-work trap! What kind of beers are on, and is it just big punchy stuff or are there easy drinkers too?
Hop BroThat’s the nice part. The headliner is B.M.B Brewery’s "The Giving Oak," a Wood-Aged Brown Porter at 5%, and the rest runs all the way from pilsner to West Coast IPA.
MugiHold on, wood-aged? What is that supposed to mean? Does it taste like someone made beer out of a tree?
Hop BroYou’re safe. It means a barrel-rested vibe. You get a soft oak aroma layered onto the roasted character of a brown porter, not actual desk shavings.
MugiOkay, good, the desk-beer theory has been cleared up! What else is there? "Heisei Banana" is already making me do a double take.
Hop BroHINOBREWING’s "Heisei Banana" is a Fruit Weizen at 5%, Kyoto Brewing’s "Naimitsu Waon" is a Belgian Dubbel at 7%, and FLORA FERMENTATION’s "Ghoul" is a Hazy IPA 6.5%. That lineup has zero intention of being boring.
MugiWow, that’s an absurdly wide lineup. There’s "KOIWAIWAI" as a sour, "SANSAN" as a crisp pilsner, and ShioKaze Blue Lab’s English IPA "Tsunagi," so I have no idea where I’d start.
Hop BroDays like this are fun because you can build a whole drinking arc. Start with "SANSAN" the pilsner, then bring in wagyu roast beef with house chimichurri, fried chicken, or charcoal-grilled mackerel for pairing heaven.
MugiAnd NEIGHBOR opens at 5 p.m. sharp, right? One quick beer works, a full meal works, and now I want "The Giving Oak" with fried chicken immediately.
Hop BroSame here. I’ve already got Moon Calender and mackerel in my head. Finish with "Ghoul" or NOMCRAFT BREWING’s West Coast IPA "Moon Calender," and the night basically wins itself.
MugiThen it’s settled, NEIGHBOR tonight. From the first sip to the final IPA, I’m thirsty just thinking about it!
NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill in Nogata, Nakano, has shared its latest tap list under “Today’s on Tap BEER,” featuring eight craft beers that cover a wide range of styles. The selection moves from a wood-aged brown porter and a sour ale to a pilsner, a fruit weizen, Belgian dubbel, hazy IPA, English IPA, and West Coast IPA.
On tap
- B.M.B Brewery, The Giving Oak, Wood-Aged Brown Porter, 5%

The food list is built to sit naturally alongside the beers: wagyu roast beef with house chimichurri, fried chicken, potato salad with tarako and bottarga, charcoal-grilled mackerel with harissa sauce, and tuna arrabbiata. The result is a tap list that works equally well for a light first pint or for a meal-driven visit.
NEIGHBOR presents itself as a beer pub and grill in the Nogata area of Tokyo, with practical notes for guests bringing dogs and for bicycle parking near the storefront. It is the kind of neighborhood beer spot where the tap list and the kitchen are clearly designed to work together.
