Brewpub Truth in Gotanda released its May 18, 2026 tap list. Eight beers, centered on overseas labels such as STONE IPA, Katashina Brewing's Gotanda Breath, and Pizza Port's Swami's IPA, are on offer, along with food like dumplings and smoked nuts.
Hop BroThe May 18 lineup at Brewpub Truth in Gotanda is pretty interesting.
MugiWhoa! Eight beers on tap? I'm already lost before choosing!
Hop BroAnd it starts with STONE IPA, plus Pizza Port's Swami's IPA, so it's a strong lineup for IPA fans.
MugiWhat is that! I hear about IPA a lot, but how bitter is normal?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, hop aroma and bitterness are the stars, and this time it's fun because the range runs from IPA to sour.
MugiHuh! Then Katashina Brewing's Gotanda Breath sounds like one to watch just from the name!
Hop BroThat one is a Scotch Ale w Chestnut, with a chestnut nuance for a slightly richer style. The malt sweetness comes forward, so it's the kind of beer you want to sip slowly.
MugiA Scotch ale with chestnut sounds like dessert! But that Wheat Sour is tempting too!
Hop BroDieu du Ciel!'s Solstice d'Ete Cerises is that Wheat Sour, with a tartness and a cherry-like character that's perfect for early summer.
MugiAnd you can drink it with Utsunomiya gyoza? That's almost unfair! The beer would fly!
Hop BroExactly. They also have smoked nuts, and the shop's early-summer vibe of leaving the door open is the best. It makes you want to have a drink in Gotanda tonight.
MugiYeah, that's definitely a night for a tasting flight. I'll start with IPA!
Hop BroThen I'll trust the fun of the daily rotation and go with whichever beer catches my eye, including the blank sixth slot.
Brewpub Truth, the brewpub in Gotanda, is known as a place where you can enjoy domestic and imported draft beers that change daily. In its May 18, 2026 post, it introduced eight beers as "Today's Lineup." After Golden Week and the Keyaki Beer Festival, the shop said that "beer tastes better when you drink it with the door left open" in the early-summer air, a sentiment that feels very much like this place.
The lineup for the day featured STONE's "IPA," Katashina Brewing's "Gotanda Breath" (Scotch Ale w Chestnut), Pizza Port's "Swami's IPA," Dieu du Ciel!'s "Fenetre Sur Les Tropiques" (Pale Ale), Kanpai! Brewing's "Kiyomizu-Zaka Bright IPA," Dieu du Ciel!'s "Solstice d'Ete Cerises" (Wheat Sour), Katashina Brewing's "Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky" (Grapefruit Session IPA), and Tokyo Aleworks' "A Bellyful of Malts and Peace" (English Mild w Chilis). The sixth slot was blank, but the lineup spans from IPA to sour to mild, making for an interesting tasting comparison.
The food lineup is the standard trio of Utsunomiya gyoza, potato chips, and smoked nuts. As a brewpub tucked into the backstreets of Nishi-Gotanda, its appeal is that you can casually take on each drink one by one. Because the tap list changes quickly, if a beer catches your eye, you'll want to go check it out the same day. To find out what beer you can drink in Gotanda right now, these daily lineups are the easiest way to know.
