NEIGHBOR in Nogata lists eight taps, including HOT BLOOD IPA
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Nakano, Tokyo, has shared its latest eight-beer tap list. The lineup includes VERTERE, Kyoto Brewing, Nara Brewing, and a returning collaboration beer, NEIGHBOR×CYCADBREWING HOT BLOOD IPA, alongside food built for pairing.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR in Nogata, Nakano just rolled out an eight-tap lineup that looks seriously stacked. The headliner is the returning HOT BLOOD IPA.
MugiWait, HOT BLOOD IPA already sounds like it comes with its own soundtrack. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a collab between NEIGHBOR and CYCAD BREWING, a West Coast IPA at 7.5%. Big hop aroma, clean finish, and enough bitterness to stand up to food.
MugiHold on, West Coast isn't just a beer you drink while staring at the ocean?
Hop BroNot quite. It's basically the crisp bitter style where the sweetness stays low and the citrusy hop character takes the lead.
MugiOhhh! Then with their chilled tantan noodles, that spicy-bitter combo sounds dangerously good.
Hop BroAnd the supporting cast is strong too. VERTERE's Pyracantha is a NZ Pale Ale, and Kyoto Brewing's Tokimeki Netsushisen is a Tropical IPA, so your palate never gets bored.
MugiThe PAINT PALETTE one has ginger, red shiso, and amanatsu peel? That's rush-hour level information in one glass!
Hop BroThat's a Farmhouse Ale, which sounds fancy, but think of it as the free-form farmhouse lane. It lets brewers play with herbs, spice, and brightness in a food-friendly way.
MugiGot it! And then Nara Brewing has ENNUI with azuki and condensed milk, AND BEER brings an Oatmeal Stout, and NUDE BEER has a cedar lager. The style range is wild!
Hop BroPlus FLORA FERMENTATION's White IPA rounds it out, so both hop chasers and dinner drinkers are covered. With a 5 p.m. opening, this is a straight shot after work.
MugiI'm done for, my throat reacted before my brain did. Tonight it's one round in Nogata, and I'm starting with HOT BLOOD IPA!
