Brewpub Truth is known as a brewpub where a metal-centric atmosphere and Gotanda's laid-back feel coexist. On its official website, it also lists food such as mapo tofu bowls, gyoza, and karaage in addition to craft beer, making it a place where you can pair drinks with a meal rather than just stop in for a drink.

This lineup ranges widely, from West Coast American hop staples to Belgian-leaning beers with French names, and even local Tokyo collaborations. While IPA is the core, the selection also includes a refreshing grapefruit session IPA, a Scotch ale made with chestnuts, and a mild ale with chilies, creating a lineup that lets you enjoy a broad range of styles.

If you're looking for your first drink in Gotanda, it seems worth checking the day's tap lineup before heading over.
