Brewpub Truth Reveals a 9-Tap Lineup in Its 3/26 Post, Including STONE IPA
Brewpub Truth, a brewpub in Nishi-Gotanda, Tokyo, announced the day’s tap lineup in a March 26 post. The selection spans a wide range of styles, from STONE and North Coast to Dieu du Ciel!, Katashina Brewing, and TAF Brewing.
Hop BroToday, the big draw is the impressive 9-tap lineup in Nishi-Gotanda, Tokyo. Brewpub Truth posted the day’s lineup on March 26, and it’s a pretty satisfying set to drink through.
MugiWhoa, nine taps!? That’s the kind of place where you end up in a happy little dilemma before you even order!
Hop BroThe star of the lineup is STONE’s classic IPA. The hop aroma and bitterness are very clear, making it the kind of first beer that instantly lifts your mood.
MugiOhhh! Wait, what even is a Session IPA? That sounds like a meeting! So it means a lighter IPA?
Hop BroExactly. KARL STRAUSS’s Mosaic IPA is a 5.5% Session beer, so it’s designed to be easy to drink. "Session" basically means something you can enjoy for several rounds while still keeping that aromatic character.
MugiGot it! Then NORTH COAST’s Old Rasputin sounds like the total opposite. The name alone gives off serious rich and heavy boss energy!
Hop BroThat’s right. It’s a Russian Imperial Stout with 9% heft. It’s dark, strongly roasted, and if you sip it slowly you get impressions like chocolate and coffee.
MugiWow, and there’s something sweet and tart too! DIEU DU CIEL!’s raspberry sour sounds really tempting!
Hop BroSolstice d'Ete Framboises is a Wheat Sour, and Ca Mon Ami, C'est Une Pinte is a Blond, so it’s interesting that they’ve lined up sour and light options side by side. It feels like a palate reset between the heavier beers.
MugiThe domestic breweries are great too! Katashina Brewing’s names sound like a blue-sky showdown or something—so romantic!
Hop BroHaving Under the High, Blue Sky and Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky side by side is pretty stylish. And with TAF Brewing’s Midnight Blue in the mix too, the Gotanda tasting comparison is complete.
MugiAnd they even have mapo tofu rice bowls and gyoza, which is basically a total win. Today is officially beer and food day!
Hop BroYeah, on days like this, the right move is to enjoy a drink with a full meal in Gotanda. If you work your way from IPA to stout and finish with gyoza, it’s the kind of night you won’t want to end.
MugiThat sounds absolutely delicious! I suddenly want to go find today’s beer right now!
