GOOD CONDITION STAND posts six draft beers and upcoming collab events
GOOD CONDITION STAND in Morishita shared its Aug. 11 tap update, featuring six draft beers, an upcoming Shiga Kogen keg, a lineup of American canned IPAs, and collaboration events scheduled for Aug. 15 and Aug. 21.
Hop BroMorishita's GOOD CONDITION STAND dropped a six-draft tap list, and it's making me thirsty already. They've even got collab dates lined up for August 15 and August 21, so today's update is stacked.
MugiWhat! For one day's update, that's way too much good stuff. Beer and events at once? I want to sprint from Morishita Station right now!
Hop BroThat's the charm of it. It's a former brewer's selection spot, three minutes from Morishita Station A2, with weekly craft beer, gyoza, and snacks in a small beer pub that works great for solo drinking.
MugiOooh, that's solo drinker heaven. So what are the six taps? If it goes from sweet to bitter, that really helps a beginner like me.
Hop BroThe range is wide. You've got NICHOU's Double Hazy IPA, GUAVA WITH PEACH & PASSION FRUIT as a fruit cider, Anniversary Four as an English Pale Ale, Lemongrass Saison, MOSAIC EDGE as a SMaSH Golden Ale, and Orion Draft on pilsner duty.
MugiHold on, what is SMaSH? That sounds like a special attack, and now my brain is exploding into hops!
Hop BroHere's the simple version: single malt, single hop. Because the ingredients are stripped down, a beer like MOSAIC EDGE makes the hop aroma and malt character way easier to pick out.
MugiSo it's basically a beer with answer keys! And the backup keg is Shiga Kogen Beer's SHIGA KOGEN IPA 2.03 Center of the Universe? That's like getting a trailer for your next pint.
Hop BroExactly, and it doesn't stop at draft. The cans are an IPA fan bullseye: Karl Strauss Aurora Hoppyalis, Sierra Nevada Mango Little Thing IPA, Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA, Founders All Day IPA, plus Taihu IPA and Long Island Iced Beer from TAIHU BREWING.
MugiWow, that's a passport in a fridge! Add weekday happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m., the August 15 collab with Shappobana and Naru's yam steak, and the August 21 collab with Jiji Udon, and my stomach is booking appointments.
Hop BroThe whole thing is built so your next pint is visible before you've even finished the first one. Go hoppy or reset with a pilsner, either way this makes me want to drink in Morishita immediately.
MugiDone, I'm starting with the lemongrass saison and then working up the nerve for an IPA. Just talking about this made me thirsty, and now I seriously want to toast at GOOD CONDITION STAND.
GOOD CONDITION STAND is a small beer pub near Morishita Station, about a three-minute walk from Exit A2. The shop is known for weekly rotating craft beers selected by a former brewer, along with gyoza and bar snacks. Counter seats and standing space make it an easy place for solo drinks or casual meetups.
The draft lineup for the day included six beers: NICHOU (Double Hazy IPA), GUAVA WITH PEACH & PASSION FRUIT (Fruit Cider), Anniversary Four (English Pale Ale), Lemongrass Saison, MOSAIC EDGE (SMaSH Golden Ale), and Orion Draft Beer (Pilsner). There were no new draft openings that day, but the range was broad, from hop-forward styles to a clean pilsner.
An upcoming keg was also announced: SHIGA KOGEN IPA 2.03 Center of the Universe from Shiga Kogen Beer. That gives regulars a clear next pour to look forward to.
The canned selection leaned heavily toward American IPAs: Karl Strauss Aurora Hoppyalis, Sierra Nevada Mango Little Thing IPA, Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA, and Founders All Day IPA. From Taiwan, TAIHU BREWING added Taihu IPA and Long Island Iced Beer | 長島冰啤. For IPA drinkers, the list is straightforward and appealing.
The bar also runs a weekday happy hour from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. Upcoming collaborations are set for Aug. 15 with Shappobana and Zekken! Yamayama Steak Naru, followed by a Jiji Udon collaboration on Aug. 21.
