GOOD CONDITION STAND posts Aug. 15 tap list with Shiga Kogen IPA
GOOD CONDITION STAND, a beer pub in Koto, Tokyo, posted its August 15 tap list. The lineup includes beers and cider from Shiga Kogen, Ushitora, TAIHU BREWING and others, plus a strong can selection from the U.S. and Taiwan.
Hop BroToday’s topic is GOOD CONDITION STAND in Shin-Ohashi, Tokyo, and their August 15 tap list. They were open from noon to 11:00 p.m., so it was the kind of lineup you could settle in with for hours.
MugiWhat! A pub going all out like that? And six draft taps means I’d get lost choosing my first pour!
Hop BroThe headline grabber is definitely Shiga Kogen Beer’s SHIGA KOGEN IPA 2.03. The name sounds cosmic, but it still lands as a proper IPA with real presence.
MugiThat name is way too dramatic! Also, Ushitora Brewery’s MOSAIC EDGE says it’s a SMaSH Golden Ale. What is that, some secret move?
Hop BroThat part matters. A SMaSH Golden Ale uses a single malt and a single hop, so the ingredients show up more clearly. It’s like cooking with fewer seasonings so you can taste the core.
MugiOhhh, that actually makes sense! So your explanation today is the simple seasoning version. Helpful, because sometimes your beer talk ferments on its own.
Hop BroAnd the range is the fun part. Green Neighbors Hard Cider’s GUAVA WITH PEACH brings the fruit-cider angle, then there’s Folkways Brewing’s Lemongrass Saison and even fresh keg Orion Draft.
MugiThat’s so good though, it’s not just IPA after IPA! From Lemongrass Saison to a clean Orion pilsner, you could just keep changing lanes all day.
Hop BroThe cans are strong too. Karl Strauss, Sierra Nevada, Deschutes, Founders, plus TAIHU BREWING showing up with two Taiwan picks. They even have CRAFT BEER BASE’s MIX JUICY 016 waiting in the wings.
MugiThis is dangerous. I’m thirsty just reading it. I want to spend from noon to night comparing pours and end the day saying, “Yep, my condition is very good.”
August 15 tap list
GOOD CONDITION STAND in Shinohashi, Koto, Tokyo, shared its tap lineup for August 15. The pub was open from 12:00 to 23:00, making it a flexible stop for lunch-time beers through late evening pours.
On draft, the pub listed Shiga Kogen Beer’s "SHIGA KOGEN IPA 2.03 Center of the Universe," Green Neighbors Hard Cider’s "GUAVA WITH PEACH & PASSION FRUIT," Egre Brewery’s "Anniversary Four," Folkways Brewing’s "Lemongrass Saison," Ushitora Brewery’s "MOSAIC EDGE," and Orion Beer’s "Orion Draft Beer." The mix spans IPA, fruit cider, English pale ale, saison, SMaSH golden ale and pilsner, giving drinkers a wide range of styles.
A backup keg, CRAFT BEER BASE’s "MIX JUICY 016," was also on deck for the next rotation. The can lineup leaned into American classics: Karl Strauss Brewing Company’s "Aurora Hoppyalis," Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.’s "Mango Little Thing IPA," Deschutes Brewery’s "Fresh Squeezed IPA," and Founders Brewing Company’s "All Day IPA." From Taiwan, TAIHU BREWING added "TAIHU IPA" and "Long Island Iced Beer."
The result is a tap list that reads like a compact tour through familiar IPA benchmarks and more distinctive styles. For beer drinkers who like to compare breweries and styles side by side, GOOD CONDITION STAND offered a particularly balanced selection on this date.
