Brewpub Truth Announces Tap List Featuring STONE IPA and Three New DIEU DU CIEL! Beers
Gotanda's Brewpub Truth updated its tap list in an April 15 Instagram post. Alongside STONE IPA, the lineup includes three new beers from DIEU DU CIEL! and two from Katashina Brewing, plus notes on the regular food menu and the 7th-anniversary campaign.
Hop BroGotanda's Brewpub Truth tap update is pretty interesting. STONE IPA, three new DIEU DU CIEL! beers, and Katashina Brewing are all on there, so it's a lineup that really makes you want to compare pours.
MugiWhoa, three new beers? And domestic and imported side by side? I'd probably end up wandering around in front of the taps!
Hop BroExactly. The main things to watch are DIEU DU CIEL!'s Fenetre Sur Les Tropiques and Moralité. The former is a Pale Ale and the latter is an American IPA, so even from the same brewery they're pretty different in character.
MugiBut what's the actual difference between a Pale Ale and an American IPA? The names sound cool, but my brain is still floating!
Hop BroIn broad terms, Pale Ale is all about balance, while American IPA tends to put hop aroma and bitterness up front. So even from the same brewer, the impression changes completely when you drink them.
MugiI see! Then Solstice d'Ete Cerises sounds interesting just from the name, since it's a Wheat Sour!
Hop BroGood catch. Wheat Sour is attractive for its fruit-driven acidity, and you can expect a cherry-like nuance too. It's the kind of beer that's easy to drink even on a hot day.
MugiHuh! So what about the domestic Katashina Brewing beers? The names are cute, and I'm curious!
Hop BroKatashina has Gotanda Breath and Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky side by side, and the naming that layers the shop name and the location is fun too. The former is a Scotch Ale w Chestnut, and the latter is a Grapefruit Session IPA, so you can move between rich and brisk styles.
MugiScotch Ale w Chestnut sounds kind of like a brown-sugar-and-chestnut dessert? It makes me hungry like it's a snack!
Hop BroThat's close. When malt sweetness and depth are joined by a chestnut note, you get a deep, slowly building richness. And at 7%, it's a beer you want to savor slowly.
MugiAnd it's still 7th-anniversary mode, with a spring roll night too? There are mapo tofu rice and gyoza, so this is the kind of place where you end up deciding while drinking!
Hop BroExactly. Weekdays start at 5 p.m. and Sundays at 4 p.m., so it's a good stop on the way home from work, and it's also perfect if you want to drop in for a first drink. Today, I feel like starting with STONE IPA and raising a toast with everyone.
MugiYeah, that's exactly how I feel too! Starting with a toast with STONE IPA and then moving on to DIEU DU CIEL! sounds incredibly fun!
Gotanda brewpub Brewpub Truth revealed its draft lineup in an April 15 post. True to the shop's role connecting Japanese and overseas craft beer, the lineup brings together Stone Brewing, Katashina Brewing, and DIEU DU CIEL!, making it a tasting-friendly selection.
Today's Lineup
- Stone Brewing `IPA`
- Katashina Brewing `Gotanda Breath` (Scotch Ale w Chestnut, 7%)
- DIEU DU CIEL! `Fenetre Sur Les Tropiques` (Pale Ale, 5%, NEW)
- DIEU DU CIEL! `Moralité` (American IPA, 6.9%, NEW)
- DIEU DU CIEL! `Solstice d'Ete Cerises` (Wheat Sour, 5.9%)
- Katashina Brewing `Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky` (Grapefruit Session IPA, 4.5%)
The main draw is the two new DIEU DU CIEL! beers. `Fenetre Sur Les Tropiques` is a Pale Ale and `Moralité` is an American IPA, so their styles differ, making it easy to compare how the same brewery's beers diverge. `Solstice d'Ete Cerises` is a Wheat Sour, a beer that makes you want to expect bright fruit-driven acidity. On the domestic side, Katashina Brewing's `Gotanda Breath` and `Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky` are on the list, and the naming that overlaps the shop name and location is eye-catching.
The post also notes that the 7th-anniversary mode is still going, with anniversary campaign details and a "spring roll night" announcement. The food lineup includes mapo tofu rice, Utsunomiya gyoza, potato chips, and smoked nuts, making it easy either to snack lightly with beer or to drink more seriously. Brewpub Truth is a brewpub in Nishi-Gotanda, Tokyo, open from 5 p.m. on weekdays and from 4 p.m. on Sundays. It's a place well suited both for stopping by for a first drink after work and for taking your time working through multiple beers.
