Brewpub Truth in Gotanda starts pouring Stone IPA and five named beers
Brewpub Truth in West Gotanda shared its June 12 tap list. The lineup includes Stone IPA, two Katashina Brewing beers, Threes Brewing’s Between the Lines, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, and Shingetsu Beer’s Op.27, alongside the pub’s usual food menu.
Hop BroTruth in Gotanda just dropped its June 12 tap list, and the six named pours run from Stone IPA to some pretty wild Katashina Brewing picks.
MugiWait, six beers to compare already sounds dangerous. How am I supposed to choose a first pint like a responsible adult?
Hop BroThe big hook is Katashina's two Gotanda beers: Gotanda Breath is a chestnut Scotch Ale, and Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky is a grapefruit Session IPA.
MugiHold on, Scotch Ale sounds like a beer that pays taxes on time. And now it has chestnuts too?
Hop BroBasically it's a rich, malt-forward ale, usually darker and rounder in flavor. Add chestnut and it turns cozy in a hurry.
MugiOkay, then Session IPA is the opposite? That sounds less like beer and more like a gym membership.
Hop BroPretty much. It's 4.5% and easygoing, so you can keep drinking without getting flattened, and the grapefruit note keeps it bright.
MugiAnd then you've got Stone IPA, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Threes Brewing's Between the Lines, and Shingetsu Beer's Op.27, so this is a full US vs Japan lineup night.
Hop BroExactly. With nine taps total and six named, it's a first-pour strategy meeting. Then they throw in mapo tofu rice bowls and Utsunomiya gyoza to make it worse.
MugiThat is unfairly strong. Mapo tofu and IPA sounds like the kind of decision that changes a person's week.
Hop BroThey're open from 5 on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and from 4 on Sunday, so first drink at Truth feels like the correct plan. I'd start with Gotanda Breath and finish on Stone IPA.
MugiI'm starting with Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky. Let's drink in Gotanda and run the whole tap list with gyoza ready on standby.
Brewpub Truth, a brewpub in West Gotanda, Tokyo, posted its tap list for June 12, 2026. The caption shows nine tap slots, with six beers explicitly named.
Tap list
- Stone Brewing: Stone IPA
- Katashina Brewing: Gotanda Breath (Scotch Ale w Chestnut, 7%)
- Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (5%)
- Threes Brewing: Between the Lines (American Pale Ale, 5.4%)
- Katashina Brewing: Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky (Grapefruit Session IPA, 4.5%)
- Shingetsu Beer: Op.27 (Pale Ale, 5.5%)
The list mixes familiar international staples with Japanese craft beers that give the lineup a clear local identity. The Katashina Brewing pair is especially notable: Gotanda Breath leans into a Scotch ale profile with chestnut, while Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky is a grapefruit-driven session IPA. Threes Brewing’s Between the Lines and Shingetsu Beer’s Op.27 round out the draft board with approachable pale-ale character, making the set easy to compare by style and brewery.
Food on the regular menu includes a mapo-tofu rice bowl, Utsunomiya gyoza, potato chips, and smoked nuts, so it works as a proper drinking stop rather than just a quick pint. The post also mentions Okinawa and Ukishima Brewing, along with a temporary offering of simple Okinawan snacks.
Hours are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 17:00 to 23:00, and Sunday from 16:00 to 21:00. Last order is 30 minutes before closing for drinks and 60 minutes before closing for food.
