Brewpub Truth, March 23 Tap List Features STONE IPA and 8 Others
The brewpub "Brewpub Truth ブルーパブ トゥルース" in Tokyo's Gotanda has released its tap list for Monday, March 23, 2026. From STONE IPA to breweries from North America and Canada, along with Katashina Brewing and TAF Brewing, the lineup covers a wide range of styles.
Hop BroBrewpub Truth in Gotanda has dropped its tap list for March 23, 2026. Starting at tap 1 with STONE IPA is the kind of move that gets your throat reacting before your stomach does.
MugiWhoa, IPA right off the bat!? STONE IPA sounds intense just from the name, but is it one of the good ones?
Hop BroExactly, it's a classic with a sturdy body and a big hop hit. And with Mosaic IPA at tap 3 and North Coast's Old Rasputin at tap 4, the North American presence is really strong.
MugiWhat does that mean!? It says Session IPA, but is "session" about drinking sessions? If it means I can drink a lot, I'm in!
Hop BroGood question. A Session IPA keeps the alcohol a little lower so it's easier to enjoy several glasses in a row. KARL STRAUSS at tap 3 is 5.5%, and Katashina Brewing at tap 7 is 4.5%, so they're great for side-by-side tasting.
MugiOhhh! So there are tart-sweet ones too? The words Wheat Sour sound kind of like sour bread, and now I'm curious!
Hop BroNot a bad comparison, sour bread. DIEU DU CIEL's "Solstice d'Ete Framboises" at tap 5 is all about tart sweetness, and tap 6's Blond is light and easygoing. Then tap 8 brings a Grapefruit Session IPA, so your palate never gets bored.
MugiWait, tap 8 is new? I like that Gotanda Sky makes it feel like they've turned the sky over Gotanda into beer. And if there's grapefruit in it, that's the kind of thing that makes me want to drink from daytime!
Hop BroExactly, and the finale is TAF Brewing's Belgian-style Strong Dark Ale. At 10%, it lands with real weight. Leaving tap 2 blank also makes you wonder what they'll put there today.
MugiIf they've got mapo tofu rice bowls and Utsunomiya gyoza, isn't that basically a win? And those after-work-friendly hours are just too good!
Hop BroThey open from 17:00 Monday through Saturday and from 16:00 on Sundays, so this is basically perfect tasting weather. Start with STONE IPA and end with Midnight Blue, and suddenly I want to go right now.
MugiYeah, yeah, my head is full of beer now! I'm in the mood for a drink in Gotanda - or maybe a few!
