Hop BroBrewpub Truth in Gotanda has put out its March 30 9-tap lineup. This time it has everything from IPA to sour and RIS, so it's a lineup that's especially fun to compare.
MugiWhoa! Nine kinds!? With that wide range of styles, I'd be lost just looking at the menu!
Hop BroAnd the one to watch is Katashina Brewing's new Gotanda Breath. It's 7% and combines Scotch ale with chestnut, so even the name feels like it was called in by Gotanda itself.
MugiScotch ale? What even is that! And with chestnuts in it, I can't tell whether it's beer or a chestnut dessert!
Hop BroScotch ale is a full-bodied ale that tends to bring out malt sweetness and toasty aromas. When you add the gentle sweetness of chestnut, it gives off an autumn-like richness, and even at 7% it's the kind of beer that goes down surprisingly smoothly.
MugiOhh! So Gotanda Breath isn't just a cool name, it really has personality too. I want to try Katashina Brewing's other beers as well!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part, because you can compare them side by side. Under the High, Blue Sky and Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky are on tap too, so you can trace the differences within the same brewery all at once.
MugiWhat do you mean, it's like comparing the sky itself! And with three Katashina Brewing beers, it's basically a little trip!
Hop BroOn top of that, there's STONE IPA, KARL STRAUSS Mosaic IPA, NORTH COAST Old Rasputin, two DIEU DU CIEL beers, and TAF Brewing Midnight Blue, so the North American lineup is strong too. Whether you love IPA or dark beers, there's plenty here for you.
MugiWhoa, having everything from IPA to RIS is so unfair! I was only planning to have one light drink, but this is definitely turning into a tasting course!
Hop BroAnd since there's mapo tofu rice bowl and Utsunomiya gyoza too, there really is a perfect beer-and-food pairing here. If you want a night in Gotanda that's casual but still thoroughly enjoyable, this place is pretty hard to beat.
MugiIt's decided! I'm so fired up to drink in Gotanda that I want to head to Brewpub Truth right now and toast with Gotanda Breath!
