MugiWhoa! Starting with STONE IPA is strong, right? And there's even a beer with Gotanda in the name, which makes me curious!
Hop BroExactly. The main anchor is the steady reliability of a classic IPA. You've got STONE's "IPA," Pizza Port's "Swami's IPA," and even Katashina Brewing's "Gotanda Breath," so it's a lineup that should satisfy anyone who likes something bold.
MugiWhat? Scotch Ale w Chestnut means it has chestnuts in it? It feels like a fancy snack, and now I'm hungry even though we're talking about beer!
Hop BroThat's exactly what makes it interesting: it's the kind that layers roasted malt with chestnut sweetness. Katashina Brewing's "Gotanda Breath" is 7%, so it gives you a gentle warmth, and the aroma unfolds as you sip it slowly.
MugiOh, so there's something refreshing too? If everything were heavy, my stomach would start a meeting, so I want something easy to drink too!
Hop BroThere is. Dieu du Ciel!'s "Fenetre Sur Les Tropiques" is a brisk Pale Ale, and Katashina Brewing's "Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky" has that grapefruit-bright freshness too; at 4.5%, it goes down easily.
MugiWait, and there's even a NEW IPA? KANPAI BEER's "Kiyomizu-Zaka Bright IPA" sounds sparkly too, like a total signature-beer vibe!
Hop BroOn top of that, there's also Tokyo Aleworks x Barney of Napalm Death's chili-infused Mild, which is a nice twist. A British-style mild with a little heat added in, it sounds like the kind of beer that would go perfectly with Utsunomiya gyoza and smoked nuts, and then you'd be unable to stop.
MugiWow, even the light classic bar snacks are on point! Sundays start at 4:00 p.m., and weekdays and Saturdays run from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., so I'd want to stop by after work!
Hop BroEven if you can't make the spring Keyaki Beer Festival, ending with See you again in autumn feels very Truth. At this point, you pretty much have no choice but to have a drink in Gotanda.
