Brewpub Truth Announces May 27 Tap List: 9 Selections Including Stone IPA and DIEU DU CIEL
The brewpub Brewpub Truth in Nishi-Gotanda, Tokyo, has announced its tap list for May 27, 2026. The lineup includes Stone Brewing's IPA, along with beers from Katashina Brewing, KANPAI BEER, DIEU DU CIEL, and Tokyo Aleworks, and mapo tofu rice will also be available on the food menu.
Hop BroToday's main attraction is the nine-tap reveal in Gotanda. Brewpub Truth put out the May 27 lineup, and starting with Stone Brewing's IPA is classy.
MugiWhoa! Leading with Stone IPA right away means they're kicking things off with the king of classics! If you go that hard from the start, won't you end up too drunk to remember anything later?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Katashina Brewing's "Gotanda Breath" is a Scotch Ale at 7%, the kind that slowly brings out malty sweetness and roast character.
MugiA Scotch ale sounds hard to wrap my head around... what exactly is this maltiness? Something like bread or caramel?
Hop BroExactly, it's the richness that comes from the malt. And "Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky" is a grapefruit-forward IPA, so the hop-driven citrus comes to the front; alternating between the heavy and the light makes it fun.
MugiI see! So it's one of those Gotanda tasting flights. And having KANPAI BEER in there too makes the lineup feel like it's traveling!
Hop BroOn top of that, DIEU DU CIEL's "Solstice d'Ete Cerises" is a wheat sour at 5.9%. It's often soft from the wheat, with tartness and cherry notes layered on, so it puckers your mouth a bit but stays easy to drink.
MugiWait, sour but easy to drink? And a Tokyo Aleworks chili-infused mild too? Putting chili in beer is already adventurous!
Hop BroThat's "A Bellyful of Malts and Peace." It pairs an English Mild with chili, adding a little kick to the mellow malt character, so it brings out a slow-sipping kind of deliciousness.
MugiAnd the food is mapo tofu rice too? Both the beer and the rice are taking things seriously! The potato chips and smoked nuts could carry the night into overtime.
Hop BroThe hours are also convenient: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., and Sundays from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. If you're going on a tour of distinctive taps in Gotanda, this is definitely worth a visit.
MugiYeah, after reading this I already want to raise a glass right now! First Stone IPA in Gotanda, then mapo tofu rice for the second round - that's pure happiness!
