GOOD CONDITION STAND posts Aug. 6-8 tap list with NICHOU and Lemongrass Saison
GOOD CONDITION STAND in Koto-ku, Tokyo, shared its tap list for August 6 to 8. The lineup includes six drafts such as NICHOU, GUAVA WITH PEACH & PASSION FRUIT, and Lemongrass Saison, plus a can selection of classic American IPAs and Taiwanese beers.
Hop BroGOOD CONDITION STAND in Shin-Ohashi just dropped a seriously sharp six-keg lineup for August 6 to 8. NICHOU, Lemongrass Saison, and even a cider are all in there, so it is built for hot-weather drinking.
MugiWait, Lemongrass Saison sounds more like herbal tea than beer. I can practically picture steam coming off the glass!
Hop BroThat is the fun part. Saison is a Belgian-style fermentation profile that usually comes out light, dry, and a little spicy. Add lemongrass and it often lands more fresh and aromatic than grassy.
MugiThe second you say fermentation profile, this turns into science class! That nerdy phrase sounds intense, but what does it actually taste like?
Hop BroIn plain terms, it drinks crisp and dry with aroma that lifts right up. Think of Folkways Brewing pouring a perfect summer pint and you are pretty close.
MugiOhhh! Then what about BLADE FACTORY BREWING's NICHOU double hazy IPA? The name alone already sounds huge.
Hop BroHuge is fair. A double hazy IPA is basically extra-hop mode activated, with a cloudy look, juicy flavor, and a full body that really pushes forward.
MugiExtra-hop mode sounds like a cheat code! And then Green Neighbors Hard Cider has GUAVA WITH PEACH & PASSION FRUIT too? That is basically a fruit stand in tap form!
Hop BroAnd it still keeps going with Eagle Brewery's Anniversary Four, Ushitora Brewery's MOSAIC EDGE, and even fresh Orion Draft on tap. IPA, cider, ale, saison, golden ale, and pilsner means you can choose entirely by mood.
MugiAnd the cans are stacked too! Karl Strauss, Sierra Nevada, Deschutes, Founders, plus TAIHU BREWING's Taihu IPA and Long Island Iced Beer. I would just freeze in front of the fridge trying to decide!
Hop BroWhat makes it even better is the weekday Obon schedule starting at 3 p.m. You can slip in when the heat drops and take it slow in the cold room, which is exactly what GOOD CONDITION STAND does well.
MugiThen it is settled. Start bright with Lemongrass Saison, go bold with NICHOU, and maybe finish with a can. One drink is not enough for this lineup!
