GOOD CONDITION STAND taps SHIKI BEER's ORANGE, with four cans on deck
GOOD CONDITION STAND in Shinohashi, Koto Ward, Tokyo, shared its June 3 tap list in a new Instagram post. The lineup is led by SHIKI BEER's ORANGE, a specialty saison brewed with amanatsu juice, alongside a wide range of styles from hazy pale ale to pilsner. Hard cider and cans are also available, though this week may have irregular hours because of event commitments.
Hop BroToday's headline at GOOD CONDITION STAND is SHIKI BEER "ORANGE". Their June 3 tap list brought it back on draft, and it's clearly the star of the board.
MugiWait, a beer called ORANGE already sounds dangerous for my self-control! Is it basically juice, or is it firmly in beer territory?
Hop BroFirmly beer. It's a Speciality Saison with amanatsu citrus juice, where yeast-driven esters stack with orange-like notes, then finish crisp with a gentle bitterness.
MugiHold on, yeast-driven esters? Why does ordering a drink suddenly sound like I'm taking chemistry lab?
Hop BroNo lab coat needed. That's just fermentation aroma talking, the fruity scent yeast creates. In this one, that aroma lines up neatly with the amanatsu character.
MugiOkay, wow, the tap range is wild. Totopia Brewery's Ripplehobia is a DDH Hazy Pale Ale, and Island Delight is a Shikuwasa Gose? My mood can't choose that fast!
Hop BroThat's the fun of it, a real style buffet. You've also got TOKYO ALEWORKS' Stream Splash IPA, Minamishinshu's Chardonnay Hop fruit beer, Orion's pilsner, and RIKRI BREWING's GHOST Kolsch waiting in the wings.
MugiAnd the cans are stacked too? Four strong cans from Atsumi Hanto Brewing, plus awards all over WANAKA, RAWA, HAKAPOUA, and ROSA. That's showing off a little!
Hop BroIt keeps going with solid cider options like Son of the Smith's Japanese Perry and SATOYAMA RESEARCH, plus snacks like pidan tofu and stuffed peppers. Hours may shift around SHIO FES prep, so the story updates matter, but now I want a first pint.
MugiSame, I want a glass now. Start me with ORANGE, let me drift into a hazy or a gose, and if I'm still standing, I'm opening one of those cans too!
