Brewpub Truth in Gotanda updates tap list with Stone IPA and six more beers
Brewpub Truth in Nishi-Gotanda, Tokyo, posted its tap list for July 2, 2026. The lineup is led by Stone IPA and also includes beers from Katashina Brewing, Sierra Nevada, THREES, Kanpai Beer!, and Shingetsu Brew.
Hop BroBrewpub Truth dropped a seven-beer spread today. From STONE "IPA" to two Gotanda-named beers from Katashina Brewing, this is the kind of tap list that demands a game plan.
MugiWhat! That's one bar, many moods! A classic IPA and hyper-local names on the same list? I'm already too curious.
Hop BroThe one grabbing me first is Katashina Brewing's "Gotanda Breath". It's a Scotch Ale with chestnut at 7%, so you've got deep malt richness and a slow-sipping vibe.
MugiWait, what even is a Scotch Ale? I heard that and immediately thought, "Are we drinking actual whisky now?!"
Hop BroEasy trap. Think big toasty malt: fuller, sweeter, and more robust than a crisp pale ale. Add chestnut here, and it feels like autumn showed up months early.
MugiAutumn showed up early? That's seasonal chaos in a glass! And then KANPAI BEER!'s "Berry Berry Zaka" is an acai smoothie beer? Suddenly dessert has entered the chat.
Hop BroAnd Katashina's "Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky" goes the other way with bright grapefruit punch. It's a Session IPA at 4.5%, which basically means IPA flavor built for easy repeat drinking.
MugiOhh, so it's an easygoing IPA! Dark-sounding name, bright refreshing beer. That contrast is kind of great.
Hop BroThen you still have STONE "IPA," Sierra Nevada "Pale Ale," THREES "Between the Lines," and Shingetsu Brew "Op.27." That's basically a tasting flight paradise before you even order food.
MugiAnd the food is unfair. Gyoza with pale ale sounds dangerous in the best way, and mapo tofu rice with hops sounds like a full evening.
Hop BroI'd start with STONE IPA first, swing through the acai smoothie, then land on the chestnut Scotch Ale. Brewpub Truth really built a whole night into one tap list.
MugiThen it's settled: first stop tonight is Brewpub Truth. After reading this, I'm absolutely ready to drink through that lineup.
Tap List
