Brewpub Truth in Gotanda lists Stone IPA, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and two new beers
On June 21, 2026, Brewpub Truth in Nishi-Gotanda, Tokyo posted an eight-beer lineup that mixed U.S. classics with Japanese craft beers. The new additions were KANPAI BEER's Berry Berry Zaka and Kokucho Beer's Kilkenay.
Hop BroToday's headline is Brewpub Truth's 8 taps. In Gotanda they've got everything from STONE IPA to fresh kegs, and they were pouring from 4 p.m. on Sunday.
MugiWait, even STONE IPA? Classic American labels and Japanese breweries in one lineup feels unfairly strong already!
Hop BroThe new pours are Berry Berry Zaka from KANPAI BEER and Kilkenay from Kokumachi Beer: an Acai Smoothie at 5% and a Red Lager at 5%. That contrast is the whole point.
MugiHold on, an acai smoothie as a beer? That sounds like breakfast wandered into the taproom by accident!
Hop BroThat's the fun of smoothie-style beer. You get dense fruit character and a soft, thick mouthfeel, so it lands almost like a juicy dessert drink.
MugiOhh, then the red lager is the total opposite? After a berry bomb, that sounds like the glass that brings everything back to earth.
Hop BroExactly. And Gotanda Breath is a Scotch Ale with chestnut at 7%, so you're looking at malt depth, a nutty sweetness, and a very Gotanda name.
MugiWhat is that, a chestnut Scotch ale? It sounds like autumn dessert with a sneaky 7%. One pint and I'm bonding with the barstool.
Hop BroPlus Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky brings grapefruit Session IPA energy at 4.5%, and THREES Between the Lines, Shingetsu Beer Op.27, and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale keep the pale-ale side covered.
MugiAnd with gyoza and smoked nuts on the food menu, this is getting dangerous in the best way. Once snacks enter the picture, I'm mentally already inside.
Hop BroThat's why Truth at 4 p.m. is such a good move. I'd open with Berry Berry Zaka, reset with Kilkenay, then finish on STONE IPA.
MugiSold. My first stop in Gotanda is definitely Truth, because now I need the classic IPA and the weird stuff in the same sitting!

The two beers marked NEW were `Berry Berry Zaka` from KANPAI BEER, an Acai Smoothie at 5%, and `Kilkenay` from Kokucho Beer, a Red Lager at 5%. They sit at opposite ends of the spectrum: one fruit-driven and soft, the other malt-forward and lager-clean.
Other taps included `IPA` from Stone Brewing, `Pale Ale` from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., `Between the Lines` from THREES Brewing, `Op.27` from Shingetsu Brewing, and two Katashina Brewing beers, `Gotanda Breath` (Scotch Ale w Chestnut, 7%) and `Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky` (Grapefruit Session IPA, 4.5%). The Gotanda-themed beers fit the pub's local identity naturally.
Regular food includes Utsunomiya gyoza, potato chips, and smoked nuts. Sunday hours run from 16:00 to 21:00, making it an easy early-evening stop for a lineup that ranges from a classic IPA to a smoothie-style beer and a red lager.
