Brewpub Truth in Gotanda Releases an 8-Tap List Featuring STONE IPA
Gotanda's Brewpub Truth has published its tap list for May 4, 2026. Featuring STONE IPA alongside beers from Katashina Brewing, PIZZA PORT, DIEU DU CIEL, and Tokyo Aleworks x Barney of Napalm Death, the lineup also includes classic food offerings.
Hop BroBrewpub Truth in Gotanda has released an 8-tap lineup. It starts with STONE IPA and goes on to Katashina Brewing, DIEU DU CIEL, and PIZZA PORT, so today's setup is especially fun for side-by-side tasting.
MugiWhoa, eight beers!? Gotanda is this much of a beer amusement park? Just reading the names has my brain spinning!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is strong too. It covers a classic IPA, a session IPA, a Scotch ale, a wheat sour, and an English mild, so the appeal is that you can follow a broad range of styles in one night.
MugiSession IPA means a lighter IPA, right? But IPA still makes me think of something bitter. If it's easier to drink, I'm interested!
Hop BroExactly. A session IPA keeps the alcohol a bit lower while making the hop aroma easier to enjoy. Here, there's also Katashina Brewing's Under the Dark, which uses grapefruit and sounds like a refreshing one to dive into.
MugiWhat is that, just hearing grapefruit makes it sound delicious! And the name 'Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky' is kind of poetic and cool!
Hop BroIf we're talking Gotanda references, Katashina Brewing's Gotanda Breath is also one not to miss. It's a Scotch ale made with chestnuts, so it should have a toasty character and gentle sweetness, and just putting the neighborhood name in there makes it feel even more local.
MugiWait, a chestnut Scotch ale!? That's cheating, looking like autumn even though it's beer! If I go to Gotanda, my sense of the seasons is going to short-circuit!
Hop BroOn top of that, there are three DIEU DU CIEL beers, so the range for comparison is pretty wide. The flow from Pale Ale to American IPA to Wheat Sour lets you play through aroma and acidity in sequence, which is great.
MugiAnd the food is mapo tofu rice bowl and Utsunomiya gyoza? That's basically beer-stealing food! If there are potato chips and smoked nuts too, there's no stopping this!
Hop BroThe hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, plus Friday and Saturday, from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Sunday from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., so it's easy to stop by after work. Spending time chasing the changing taps at an easy-to-drop-in spot like this is still the best.
MugiYeah, I want to go right now! When I hear a drink in Gotanda, I bet Hop-senpai and I would both end up looking at the menu with the same face!
