MugiWhoa, six kinds is a lot! And just hearing Yuzu Saison sounds delicious already. What is that?
Hop BroFirst to note is Noroshi Brewing's Yuzu Saison. It's a saison with a citrusy aroma, and I like the way it has a little wildness tucked into the freshness.
MugiWhat do you mean by 'wildness'? Like the beer suddenly wants to run back to the mountains?
Hop BroPretty much. That's what makes saison yeast interesting. Its fermentation character comes through with a bit of personality, and Harumi Saison uses the peel of Harumi citrus from Shizuoka to push that citrus note even further.
MugiOhhh! So it's basically the opposite of a DDH Hazy IPA like TOPOLOGY#10, right? That's the cloudy, juicy one?
Hop BroExactly. TAROS BREWING's DDH Hazy IPA is the kind that puts hop aroma front and center. And Big Hoppa is a Double IPA, so as the name suggests it hits hard on the hops, the kind that wakes you up in one sip.
MugiWait, For Now, Cream! is already a sneaky-good name! And it's a Cream Ale too, so it sounds super easy to drink. I like it!
Hop BroThat lightness works well alongside Orion's Pilsner too. On deck next are Gahaha Beer's A Blank Slate and Nara Brewing's Czech-style Pilsner, so the fun is in the fast-changing taps.
MugiAnd the FETISH CLUB collaboration cans are almost gone, right? I want to try the century egg tofu and lamb jerky too, so I'm basically ready to drink!
Hop BroSince it opens Tuesday through Saturday at 17:00, it's the perfect time for a drink in Shin-Ohashi. All right, today let's seriously deliberate over what to start with while we check out the tap lineup.
MugiYeah, I want to go right now! I'll take the yuzu Saison, you take the DDH Hazy IPA, hop bro, and we'll swap tastings!
GOOD CONDITION STAND, a beer pub in Shin-Ohashi, Koto Ward, Tokyo, published its April 28 service lineup.
Today's Drafts
There were six kegs on tap that day. The lineup included Yuzu Saison (Noroshi Brewing), which stands out for its citrus notes; TOPOLOGY#10 (TAROS BREWING), a DDH Hazy IPA; For Now, Cream! (Gahaha Beer), a Cream Ale; Harumi Saison (TIELS Brewing), a Fruit Saison; Big Hoppa (RIKRI BREWING), a Double IPA; and Orion Draft Beer Keg (Orion Breweries, Ltd.), a Pilsner.
In the post, TIELS Brewing's new Harumi Saison was described as a saison made with the peel of Harumi, a citrus fruit grown in Shizuoka. It is finished to bring out the character of saison yeast more strongly, and is said to feature citrus aroma and a slightly unusual drinking impression.
Next Up
On deck were A Blank Slate (Gahaha Beer), a Belgian White, and NOTHING SPECIAL (Nara Brewing), a Czech-style Pilsner. With kegs turning over quickly, you could run into a different pint depending on when you visit.
Cans and Snacks
FETISH CLUB canned beers were available, and the post said three collaboration cans with manga artist Yujin are popular and down to the last few. The owner-recommended snacks include century egg tofu, a three-item delicacies platter, fried chicken cartilage, and house-made lamb jerky, making for an easy lineup to nibble on between beers.
GOOD CONDITION STAND opens Tuesday through Saturday at 17:00 and closes at 23:30. Tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood in Shin-Ohashi, this relaxed beer pub's appeal lies in the fun of rotating taps and the ease of lingering over drinks with food in between.
