Brewpub Truth in Gotanda taps Shingetsu Beer’s Op.27 on June 4
Brewpub Truth in Gotanda posted its June 4 tap list, led by Shingetsu Beer’s Op.27. The lineup also includes beers from STONE, Katashina Brewing, Sierra Nevada, THREES, and Dieu du Ciel!, with regular food such as mapo-tofu rice and Utsunomiya gyoza.
Hop BroGotanda's Brewpub Truth just dropped a fresh June 4 tap list, and the seven-beer lineup is seriously strong.
MugiWait, a seven-beer lineup already sounds dangerous for someone like me who can't choose snacks, let alone taps!
Hop BroThe headliner is definitely Shingetsu Beer Op.27, a pale ale with a really vivid hop presence that leans almost American IPA in character.
MugiOoh, so that American IPA-style hopping means it's not just bitter, but super aromatic too?
Hop BroExactly. It gives off a bright citrusy impression, and there's also Katashina Brewing's Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky, a grapefruit-leaning session IPA, so the comparison flight basically builds itself.
MugiHold on, session IPA sounds like something you schedule on a calendar. What does it actually mean?
Hop BroIt sounds intense, but it's really an IPA that's lower in alcohol and easier to keep drinking, while still hanging onto the hop aroma.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! Then throwing in Dieu du Ciel!'s Solstice d'Ete Cerises, a wheat sour with cherry, would totally keep your palate on its toes.
Hop BroAnd the range is wild: Gotanda Breath is a chestnut Scotch ale, plus there's STONE IPA, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, and THREES Between the Lines.
MugiThen they add mapo tofu rice and Utsunomiya gyoza on top of that? That's not a menu, that's a trap for my paycheck.
Hop BroThe hours help too: mostly 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays and Saturday, with Sunday opening from 4 p.m., so it's easy to drop in after work or on the weekend.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. Let's toast with Op.27 first, grab the gyoza, and work our way to the sour, because now both of us absolutely want a pint.
