Hop BroBrewpub Truth in Gotanda has put out its tap list for May 16, 2026. Along with Stone and Pizza Port, the mix of domestic beers is exactly the kind of thing that makes you want to compare everything side by side.
MugiWhat, there are eight beers from Japan and abroad!? With that many on tap, I'd freeze at the counter trying to figure out where to start!
Hop BroThe first things that catch the eye are Stone Brewing's IPA and Pizza Port's Swami's IPA. They're classic hop-forward picks, and having them on the list makes the whole shop's lineup easier to read.
MugiHop aroma up front, meaning the kind that hits you in the nose? It sounds technical, but for me the smell would drink first!
Hop BroExactly, and this time malt depth is also a highlight. Katashina Brewing's Gotanda Breath is a Scotch Ale w Chestnut, the kind that slowly spreads with grainy sweetness and chestnut-like notes.
MugiA chestnut beer!? That's basically an autumn feast. Even while drinking in Gotanda, it sounds like you'd mentally warp into the mountains!
Hop BroAnd Katashina Brewing's Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky is a Grapefruit Session IPA, with citrus edges that stand out within its light, easygoing body. Session IPAs are easy to drink, so they're a good fit for a day when you're planning to go through several beers.
MugiWhat's a session!? It sounds like a meeting, but if it means a drinkable IPA, I'm all for it. Take me there!
Hop BroAmong the domestic newcomers, Kanpai Beer's NEW IPA is on the list, and Tokyo Aleworks' A Bellyful of Malts and Peace is interesting too. It's an English mild with a chili kick, and after the smoothness comes a subtle wave of spice.
MugiWhat is that, the name alone is overloaded with information! But if there's gyoza and nuts too, it's clearly built for lingering. I want to go right now!
Hop BroExactly. You can snack on Utsunomiya gyoza and smoked nuts while drinking from 5 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and from 4 p.m. on Sunday. When you're in the mood for one drink in Gotanda, places like this are the most dangerous.
MugiDangerous, but perfect! I already want to drink even the time spent choosing while looking at that day's taps, and now I want to raise a glass with you, Hop bro!
The brewpub Brewpub Truth in Nishi-Gotanda, Tokyo, posted its tap lineup for May 16, 2026. This lineup spans everything from overseas staples to more distinctive picks, including Stone Brewing's "IPA," Pizza Port's "Swami's IPA," and DIEU DU CIEL's "Fenetre Sur Les Tropiques" and "Solstice d'Ete Cerises."
Among the domestic beers, Kanpai Beer's "Kiyomizu-Zaka Bright IPA" appears as NEW. Also on the board are Katashina Brewing's "Gotanda Breath" (Scotch Ale w Chestnut) and "Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky" (Grapefruit Session IPA), making it easy to compare each tap's character, from malt depth and hop definition to citrus accents. Tokyo Aleworks' "A Bellyful of Malts and Peace" (with Barney of Napalm Death) is also featured, including a beer that puts a chili twist on an English mild.
The food menu has three items: Utsunomiya gyoza, potato chips, and smoked nuts. They are easy to snack on between beers, making the place well suited to lingering at the Gotanda counter and trying one beer at a time. The post listed business hours as 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Sunday.
