Brewpub Truth in Gotanda announces its 4/6 tap list, including Stone IPA
The Gotanda brewpub “Brewpub Truth” has released its tap list for April 6, 2026. The number of taps is temporarily down due to line cleaning, but beers from Stone, Katashina Brewing, Karl Strauss, and Dieu du Ciel! are on the board, and the anniversary campaign is still ongoing.
Hop BroBrewpub Truth in Gotanda has updated its taps, and this time it’s pretty interesting. Even though it’s right after line cleaning and the number of beers is down, Stone and Katashina Brewing are both solidly on the list.
MugiWhoa! You say it’s smaller, but it’s still full of distinctive picks. That’s the kind of lineup that makes you want to drink too much because you can’t decide!
Hop BroExactly. Having Stone’s IPA on there is huge. It’s a classic, right-down-the-middle beer that lets you enjoy hop bitterness and aroma.
MugiI hear IPA all the time, but is that basically about the hop taking center stage? It’s kind of weird that it’s not just bitter, but aromatic too!
Hop BroThat’s right, Mugi-chan. And Katashina Brewing’s Gotanda Breath is a Scotch ale made with chestnuts, with a name that shows serious Gotanda love.
MugiWhat?! A chestnut beer sounds sweet and interesting, and the Gotanda naming is adorable too!
Hop BroKatashina Brewing’s other one, Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky, is a session IPA accented with grapefruit. It’s easygoing to drink, so it’s the kind of beer that works well as you settle in for a longer stay.
MugiA session IPA with grapefruit sounds like refreshment all the way! That means I could probably go for a second one too...
Hop BroAnd on top of that, there’s Karl Strauss’s Mosaic IPA and Dieu du Ciel!’s Solstice d'Ete Framboises. The first brings hop aroma, and the second is a raspberry wheat sour, so even the finish is covered.
MugiWait, ending with a raspberry wheat sour sounds amazing, doesn’t it? And if there’s mapo tofu rice and Utsunomiya gyoza too, I want to go right now!
The brewpub “Brewpub Truth” in Nishi-Gotanda, Tokyo, announced its tap list for April 6, 2026 on Instagram. Since line cleaning was carried out after business last week, the post also notes that the lineup is “smaller than usual.” Even so, the selection is packed with distinctive beers.
That day’s lineup includes Stone’s IPA, Katashina Brewing’s Gotanda Breath, Karl Strauss’s Mosaic IPA, Dieu du Ciel!’s Solstice d'Ete Framboises, and Katashina Brewing’s Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky. In addition to an IPA tasting comparison, the list also includes a Scotch ale, a wheat sour, and even a grapefruit-forward session IPA, making for a lineup with a wide range of flavors.
Particularly noteworthy are the two Katashina Brewing beers with Gotanda-inspired names. Gotanda Breath is a Scotch ale made with chestnuts, while Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky is a session IPA accented with grapefruit, giving it a strong connection to the shop’s name. Karl Strauss’s Mosaic IPA should deliver the hop-derived aroma you’d expect, and Dieu du Ciel!’s Solstice d'Ete Framboises, a wheat sour made with raspberries, seems like a fitting final pour.
Brewpub Truth also has a very straightforward lineup of foods that pair well with beer. The post highlights mapo tofu rice, Utsunomiya gyoza, potato chips, and smoked nuts, making it a place where you can eat well while you drink. Hours are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 17:00 to 23:00, and Sunday from 16:00 to 21:00. It’s an easy spot to settle in for more than just one drink in Gotanda, especially if you want to take your time over food and beer.
The post also announced that the 7th anniversary campaign is still running, including a raffle for anniversary goods as well as a selection of 15-year-aged awamori koshu. It looks like it will be a day to enjoy both a fresh tap update and the extra side attractions that make the shop unique.
