NEIGHBOR in Nogata Introduces Eight Draft Craft Beers and a Weekly Burger
The beer pub NEIGHBOR in Nogata, Tokyo, introduced its recommended eight draft craft beers and food offerings on Instagram. Dishes that pair well with beer, such as the Maple Quattro Cheese Burger and sirloin steak, are also on the menu, and it opens at 17:00.
Hop BroNogata beer pub NEIGHBOR's tap guide is pretty bold this time, right? From a Mexican Amber Lager like `FLORA FERMENTATION`'s `Constancia` to the Hazy IPA `HYPNOTIZE`, the eight beers are lined up really neatly.
MugiWait, there are eight draft beers? And amber lagers and hazy IPAs sound delicious just from the names, but I still only half get it!
Hop Bro`Constancia` is a Mexican Amber Lager with barley sweetness and toastiness, while `Super-Ripened Nanko Plum~Weizen~` is a Fruit Weizen with ume plum acidity. They even have beers like `Cascara` that layer in aromas from coffee cherry, so NEIGHBOR is really having fun with it.
MugiCoffee cherry? I don't even know anymore whether that's a drink or a fruit! This has suddenly turned into some kind of grown-up science fair project!
Hop BroBasically, they sometimes use the pulp around the coffee fruit, and that can bring out a fruit-like acidity and sweetness. So `Cascara` isn't too heavy even as a dark-style beer, and it's the kind you want to sip slowly.
MugiI get it now! Then `WHETSTONE`, the Hefeweizen, and something like `fête Mishima 3ê Anniversary Hoppy Belgian Blonde` sound like they'd be light and easy to drink!
Hop BroExactly. `BLADE FACTORY BREWING`'s `WHETSTONE` has the appeal of its soft wheat character, and a Belgian blonde brings out yeast-derived aromas beautifully. The IPA lineup, like `MIURA Coast IPA` and `Kampai from Torrance`, gives the beer firm edges with solid bitterness.
MugiAnd the food is strong too! The Maple Quattro Cheese Burger sounds like it is absolutely trying to summon beer.
Hop BroExactly. With dishes like `Sirloin Steak` and `Squid and Bottarga Peperoncino` on the menu, it feels like the experience is complete only when you pair it with the food. That is one of NEIGHBOR's strengths: it's easy to build pairings, with meat for the richer IPAs and salads or seafood for the wheat beers.
MugiAnd it opens at 17:00, which is so appreciated! If you swing by after work, that means your first drink is already the obvious choice!
Hop BroAnd because you can choose according to your mood in Nogata, the whole 'which one should I drink today?' question is genuinely fun. There are notes about bringing dogs and about bicycles, but first, when you see these eight beers and the food in front of you, you want to raise a glass.
MugiYeah, I think we've already decided on tonight's drink candidate! I'll take the burger and you take the IPA, bro, and let's go ahead and toast first on our own!
