Hop BroThe beer pub NEIGHBOR in Nogata has put out its June tap list. From lager to IPA, it is a pretty appealing lineup.
MugiWhoa! Eight kinds? If there are that many, I’d panic trying to decide what to drink first!
Hop BroThat is the fun part. This time it ranges from lager to IPA, so there is a proper option for your first drink, something to enjoy with your meal, and something to sip slowly at the end.
MugiHazy and West Coast and stuff sound strong just from the names, but what exactly is different?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, hazy tends to be cloudy and juicy, while West Coast tends to bring more bitterness and a crisper finish. The reason NEIGHBOR has such a broad range of drinking styles is that this contrast is there.
MugiOhhh! And there are ones like Rice Lager and Miami Rice too, so rice seems to be the star! That makes it feel friendly, like food!
Hop BroExactly, that is what makes it interesting. There are light beers made with rice and jasmine rice, Kurikuro with a chestnut-like nuance, and Heisei Banana with a strong banana character, so the flavor directions are very clear.
MugiChestnuts, bananas, and rice? That is a lot of information! But it is great that it also works for a night when you want to eat.
Hop BroThe food is solid too. They have fried chicken, potato salad with cod roe and karasumi, and charcoal-grilled sea bream with harissa sauce, so the beer really does pair with a proper meal.
MugiOh, so it is totally a night for more than just drinking! Being able to eat and drink calmly in Nogata sounds ideal!
Hop BroPlus it opens at 17:00, and there is guidance about bringing dogs and bicycle parking, so it is a good idea to check before you go. Tonight, how about a drink at NEIGHBOR?
MugiI’m in! I’ll start with a light lager, and Hop-nii can order something niche, then we can trade a sip later!
