NEIGHBOR in Nogata Updates 8 Taps, Opening Domestic and Imported IPAs and Seasonal Beers
The beer pub NEIGHBOR in Nogata, Nakano Ward, Tokyo, has unveiled its latest tap list of eight beers. From Kagiya Brewery, Cycad Brewing, and O’Hara’s Brewery, the lineup centers on IPA but also spans Saison, Best Bitter, and Schwarz Weizen, making it a selection to enjoy alongside food.
Hop BroNogata's NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill has updated its taps to eight fresh pours. With IPA at the core and Saison and Best Bitter on the list too, today is a really fun day for tasting side by side.
MugiWhat, eight kinds!? That's basically a paradise for beer flights. Just looking at the menu, I feel like I'll be tipsy first!
Hop BroLeading off is Kagiya Brewery's "003 Mellow Yellow IPA," a Hazy IPA / 6%. With its hazy appearance, it's the kind that puts hop juiciness front and center.
MugiHuh! But why are hazy beers so popular? Is that cloudy aroma basically just about looking cute?
Hop BroThat's the difference. Hazy beers are appealing not just for bitterness, but for tropical aromas and a soft mouthfeel, and the lineup also includes aroma-first beers like O’Hara’s "51st State IPA" and Akita Akrabiiru's "Sakihokore Brut IPA."
MugiNow I'm curious! Cycad Brewing's "Hanami" is a Sakura Saison, right? It makes me feel like spring has arrived, and I'm already getting a floaty mood before even drinking it.
Hop BroExactly, and Shiokaze Blue Lab's "Mugizen" is a Best Bitter, O’Hara’s "Irish Red" is a Red Ale, and FLORA FERMENTATION's "Waldschrat" is a Schwarz Weizen, so the malt-forward side is well covered too.
MugiWhat, a Weizen that's black!? That's the kind that tricks you by appearance. Easy-drinking even though it's dark sounds a little unfair!
Hop BroIt is a little unfair. And NEIGHBOR also has Cajun chicken, tuna carpaccio, jerk chicken rice, and burgers, so the food pairing is strong too. Beer alone would be enough, but this is the kind of place where you'd want to make it a full meal.
MugiI'm already hungry! Today I want to do IPA and seasonal beers with a burger in hand, and I feel like I want to toast right now!
