Brewpub Truth, a 9-tap lineup including Katashina Brewing's new release on April 2
Brewpub Truth in Nishi-Gotanda, Tokyo, has released its tap list for April 2, 2026. The nine-tap lineup ranges from Katashina Brewing's new "Gotanda Breath" to American and Canadian staples, plus sours and stouts.
Hop BroThe 9 taps at Brewpub Truth in Nishi-Gotanda are looking really interesting today.
MugiWhoa! With nine beers on tap, the first thing to focus on is Gotanda Breath?
Hop BroExactly, it's Katashina Brewing's new release, a Scotch Ale with Chestnut.
MugiScotch Ale? And chestnuts too? Is using chestnuts in beer really a thing?
Hop BroIt is. Scotch ale is all about the rich malt body, and when you add chestnut sweetness and toastiness, the 7% drinkability really stands out.
MugiWow, so it sounds sweet but not too heavy? I can imagine some autumn-like umami!
Hop BroAnd the rest of the lineup is really broad too. With STONE IPA, Mosaic IPA, and even Old Rasputin, you can go from IPA to dark beer all in one go.
MugiWait, really? There are sours too? And DIEU DU CIEL sounds intense just from the name!
Hop BroYep, there's a wheat sour and a Belgian-style strong dark ale too, so the flavor range is huge. There are also other Katashina Brewing labels in the mix, so it's ideal for a side-by-side tasting.
MugiAnd if they have gyoza and a mapo tofu rice bowl too, that's basically an endless loop of beer and food!
Hop BroExactly. The 7th anniversary campaign is still going, and the hours are convenient, so today makes me want to head to Gotanda for a drink.
MugiBeing able to go on Mondays and Wednesdays too is huge! I want to start with one glass of Gotanda Breath!
