GOOD CONDITION STAND pours NOMCRAFT collaboration IPA for Aug. 20-21
GOOD CONDITION STAND in Tokyo's Shinohashi area has released its tap list for Thursday, August 20 and Friday, August 21. The lineup centers on a NOMCRAFT Brewing x Flora Fermentation collaboration IPA, alongside saisons, a hazy IPA, a pilsner, and a strong bottle selection.
Hop BroAt GOOD CONDITION STAND in Shin-Ohashi, the big news is a NOMCRAFT collab IPA on tap. The August 20 and 21 lineup looks seriously strong.
MugiWhat! That already sounds good. But Spruce Moose? Why does the name sound like a beast from a forest tavern?
Hop BroIt’s a collaboration between NOMCRAFT BREWING and Flora Fermentation, and the style is a North West IPA. It layers spruce-chip aroma, resinous hop character, and fruity notes.
MugiHold on, resinous hop character? Is that beer talk or are we licking a tree now?
Hop BroThink of it more like a piney forest aroma. Not sticky in a literal way, just fresh, green, and slightly bitter in a really crisp direction.
MugiOhhh, so that green aromatic vibe isn’t just grassy, it’s the nice kind of outdoorsy?
Hop BroExactly. And the draft list has range too: CRAFT BEER BASE’s Hazy IPA "MIX JUICY 016," a lemongrass saison from Folkways Brewing, and a hoppy saison from Gahaha Beer.
MugiThat’s basically a tasting flight paradise. And then they throw in a guava, peach, and passion fruit cider too? That’s unfair.
Hop BroThen you reset with Orion’s draft pilsner, and the bottle list goes deeper with AJB aged beers plus Sierra Nevada, Deschutes, and Founders. It’s built to pair with udon and tempura.
MugiIPA, saison, pilsner, then aged bottles with food? That night-out lineup is absurdly complete. It sounds less like a menu and more like a battle plan.
Hop BroAnd they even teased SHIKI BEER’s LimeGreen arrival for the next day. That kind of follow-up makes you want to come back immediately.
MugiI’m sold. I want a beer with udon and I want to start with Spruce Moose. Let’s go get pleasantly lost in the forest.
