Brewpub Truth lists Stone IPA and THREES' Between the Lines
Brewpub Truth, a brewpub in Gotanda, updated its tap list on June 11. The lineup includes Stone IPA, THREES' Between the Lines, two Katashina Brewing beers, and Shingetsu Brewery's Op.27. A Red Lager from Kokucho Beer is also scheduled to connect on Sunday.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Brewpub Truth and its June 11 tap list. They’ve got STONE "IPA," THREES "Between the Lines," and two Katashina Brewing beers, so it’s a lineup that really makes you want to do a tasting flight in Gotanda.
MugiWhat! It’s basically a tasting paradise! Having classic overseas beers and quirky local ones together sounds perfect even for beginners who want to compare styles.
Hop BroExactly, the core lineup is IPA and pale ale. STONE brings firm bitterness, Sierra Nevada "Pale Ale" is the textbook balanced pick, and THREES "Between the Lines" is a fresh American Pale Ale at 5.4%, so that one stands out.
MugiWait a second, what’s an American Pale Ale compared with an IPA? The names sound so similar that the hops in my brain just got lost!
Hop BroPut simply, it’s about how the bitterness is built. IPA usually pushes hop aroma and bitterness more forward, while an American Pale Ale is lighter and easier to drink, so it works well as a first pint.
MugiOhhh, if it’s great for the first pint, then THREES "Between the Lines" is suddenly very tempting! My lost brain-hops have safely returned.
Hop BroBut Katashina Brewing is where it gets fun too. Gotanda Breath is a chestnut Scotch Ale at 7% with a rich malty body, while "Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky" is a grapefruit-leaning Session IPA at 4.5% and drinks nice and light.
MugiNo way! A chestnut Scotch Ale and a grapefruit Session IPA on the same day? That’s a lot to process! Does “session” mean I’m supposed to take a break?
Hop BroGood question. A Session IPA is basically an IPA designed at a lower ABV so you can enjoy a few glasses more easily. And Shingetsu Brewery’s "Op.27" is on too, a Pale Ale at 5.5%, so the whole list has a nice rhythm from light to rich.
MugiAnd the food is mapo tofu rice, Utsunomiya gyoza, and smoked nuts? That’s an elite pairing lineup. I can already see the beer disappearing way too fast.
Hop BroThey’re also serving low-key Okinawan snacks for a while, which feels very Brewpub Truth in the best way. And on Sunday, a red lager from Sendai’s Kokumachi Beer is expected to go on tap, so this is definitely not a one-drink stop.
MugiI’m fully ready to start with a pint in Gotanda now. Do we open with THREES, or kick the door down with STONE "IPA"? Either way, I want to go drink this for real.

The lineup leans into hop-forward classics and approachable pale ales. Alongside Stone IPA and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, the list adds THREES' new release "Between the Lines" and two house-named Katashina Brewing beers, "Gotanda Breath" and "Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky." The range also covers a Scotch ale and a grapefruit session IPA, so the tap list offers clear contrasts in style and intensity.
Food is simple and beer-friendly: mapo tofu rice bowl, Utsunomiya gyoza, potato chips, and smoked nuts. The pub also notes that Okinawan snack sweets will be available for a while.
Opening hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 17:00 to 23:00, Friday and Saturday from 17:00 to 23:00, and Sunday from 16:00 to 21:00. The post also says that after returning from Crank Beer’s anniversary on Sunday, the pub plans to welcome Mr. Konno from Sendai's Kokucho Beer, with a Red Lager expected to be on tap. It is a useful stop for both a first pint and a relaxed tasting session in Gotanda.
