Hop BroBrewpub Truth in Gotanda updated its taps on May 29. The highlight is definitely Sierra Nevada's classic, Pale Ale.
MugiHuh, is Pale Ale that famous? I've heard the name, but is it really the classic of classics?
Hop BroExactly. It's a textbook beer with a solid malt backbone and well-balanced citrus hops. It's not flashy, but it wins you over with its balance.
MugiMalt backbone and citrus hops sound like a sudden traffic jam of beer jargon! So it means it has proper aroma and body, right?
Hop BroThat's right. And the lineup that day had seven beers, from Stone's IPA to THREES' Between the Lines and Dieu du Ciel!'s Wheat Sour, so it's a really fun lineup for tasting side by side.
MugiNice, I like that it's not just IPAs! But "Gotanda Breath" is such a funny name, like it's inhaling all of Gotanda's air! The naming is strong!
Hop BroThat's Katashina Brewing's Scotch Ale w Chestnut, and its appeal is the firm malt character. With chestnuts in it, it has this gentle wave of sweetness and depth.
MugiBeer with chestnuts!? That already sounds delicious before I even drink it! And there's something for people who want something light too, right? The kind that's easy to keep drinking without getting tired?
Hop BroYep. There are beers like Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky, which is a Grapefruit Session IPA, so you can go light and easy, and if you like fruitiness and acidity, Solstice d'Ete Cerises is interesting too. The strength here is that it covers everything from easygoing to distinctive.
MugiAnd they even have mapo tofu rice and Utsunomiya gyoza!? That's not just a beer stop anymore... If I drop in after work, I'll end up happily eating and drinking!
Hop BroOn Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday they're open from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and on Sundays from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, so it's perfect for a casual stop in Gotanda. Tonight, you'll probably go in planning for just one drink and end up ordering another.
MugiThat would absolutely happen! I want to start with the Pale Ale too, and maybe try the IPA or sour depending on my mood! I suddenly want to toast right now!
