GOOD CONDITION STAND in Shinohashi, Koto Ward, announced the day’s six draft beers in a post on April 8. The lineup ranged widely from Sencha Hazy IPA to sour, XPA, and West Coast pilsner, with a note about the next backup keg as well.
Hop BroGOOD CONDITION STAND in Shinohashi, Koto Ward, has rolled out its April 8 taps. Today’s lineup has a lot of range, from Sencha Hazy IPA to pilsner.
MugiWait, there are 6 kinds!? And Sencha Hazy IPA already sounds interesting. Sencha, but hazy? What does that even mean!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Ise Kadoya Brewery’s Sencha Hazy IPA layers tea notes onto a fragrant hazy base. It’s easy to picture that cloudy mouthfeel carrying a leafy finish.
MugiOhhh! But why is Hazy IPA so popular? Just being “cloudy” somehow makes it sound amazingly tasty!
Hop BroExactly. The appeal is the hop-driven juiciness and soft drinkability. And this lineup also has a fruit sour and XPA, so both sour fans and hop fans get something to enjoy.
MugiThat’s amazing! DH Sour Sorbet Mango sounds like a dessert. That mango sweet-and-sour vibe is definitely the kind of thing that puts you in a good mood!
Hop BroThere’s also CROSS POINT XPA, plus Pepperoni Quattro as a West Coast pilsner. XPA stands for Extra Pale Ale, and the point is to enjoy hops in a lighter, more approachable way than an IPA.
MugiSo Extra Pale Ale means light and hoppy? That sounds tricky, but also easy to drink. Makes me want to try them one by one.
Hop BroExactly. And when you add something like Hibagon, a dank-style IPA, the whole range opens up even more. They even teased Big Hoppa as the next backup keg, so hop lovers are definitely going to be restless.
MugiWait, there’s more!? If they’re even previewing the backup keg, that makes me want to keep coming back. I’d start with potato salad, work through the lighter beers, and finish with an IPA!
Hop BroNice. They’ve got gyoza and snacks too, and the rotating lineup is part of what makes this place great. With the April event announcements as well, it’s basically an invitation to go drink there.
MugiYeah, I’m in the mood for a drink from April 8 now! Start with the Sencha Hazy IPA, then the sour, then the pilsner, and before I know it I’ll probably be bar-hopping!
April 8 tap list
GOOD CONDITION STAND revealed its draft lineup for the day in an Instagram post on April 8. The shop is a beer pub within walking distance of Morishita Station, and its appeal lies in weekly rotating craft beers alongside gyoza and snacks. The small interior has both counter seats and standing space, making it easy to drop in for solo drinks or small groups.
There were six drafts on tap that day.
- Sencha Hazy IPA [Hazy IPA] / Ise Kadoya Brewery
- DH Sour Sorbet Mango [Fruit Sour] / TOKYO ALEWORKS
- CROSS POINT XPA [Extra Pale Ale] / Gahaha Beer
- Pepperoni Quattro [West Coast Pilsner] / RIKRI BREWING
- Hibagon [Dank IPA(Hazy IPA)] / FLORA FERMENTATION
- Orion Draft Beer Kazarok Taru [Pilsner] / Orion Beer Co., Ltd.
Looking at the lineup, the range stretches from Hazy IPA and fruit sour to XPA and pilsner styles, making it an easy one for side-by-side tasting. The post said there were no new taps at the moment, but it also previewed `Big Hoppa [Double IPA] / RIKRI BREWING` as the next backup keg, making the next rotation something to watch.
The shop also stocks canned beer, canned hard cider, and cup sake from all over Japan. To go with the beer, potato salad and the owner’s recommended snacks seem like a good match, letting you work your way from a light pour to a hop-forward IPA.
The post also announced a homemade pizza party event on April 11, a collaboration event with Shappo Bana on April 18, and a beer pop-up at STUDIO D.I.J on April 26. Along with the changing taps, it gives a clear picture of what’s happening through April.
