Brewpub Truth in Gotanda releases its May 1 tap list, serving STONE and Dieu du Ciel!
Brewpub Truth (Bluepub Truth) in Gotanda released its tap list for May 1, 2026. In addition to STONE, PIZZA PORT, and DIEU DU CIEL!, the lineup also includes limited beers from Katashina Brewing and Tokyo Aleworks. Food offerings include mapo tofu rice and Utsunomiya gyoza.
Hop BroBrewpub Truth in Gotanda has put out its tap list for May 1, 2026. Having STONE, DIEU DU CIEL!, and even Pizza Port on tap is pretty bold.
MugiWhoa! There are so many breweries that sound strong just from the names! And all of them gathering in Gotanda is kind of like a venue, isn't it?
Hop BroFirst up is one highlight, STONE Brewing's IPA. It's a classic, but it's the kind of American IPA that really comes on strong with hop bitterness and aroma.
MugiAn American IPA means the bitterness is the point? But if it also has a strong aroma, that makes me a little curious!
Hop BroExactly. It’s not just bitter; the appeal is the citrusy, piney aroma that comes through. And since there are also Pizza Port's Swami's IPA and DIEU DU CIEL!'s IPA styles, it's easy to compare their differences.
MugiOhh! And seeing Katashina Brewing there makes me happy! 'Gotanda Breath' and 'Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky' sound stylish just from having Gotanda in the name!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: Gotanda Breath is a Scotch Ale w Chestnut, while Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky is a Grapefruit Session IPA. The former has malt sweetness and chestnut nuances, while the latter is light and citrusy, so even though they're both local beers, their directions are totally different.
MugiWhat! Chestnut and grapefruit as beers from the same city? That's the kind of wild range that makes your head spin, but in a fun way!
Hop BroAnd there’s even a new release from Tokyo Aleworks x Barney. 'A Bellyful of Malts and Peace' is an English Mild w Chilis, a pretty distinctive beer that brings a chili accent to gentle malt character.
MugiChili in an English Mild? So it's like quiet-looking but full of energy? If I drank that, I feel like it would get more and more interesting!
Hop BroThe food is solid too, with mapo tofu rice and Utsunomiya gyoza, so it pairs well with a hoppy IPA or a sour. Potato chips and smoked nuts work for a light bite, but a full meal is an option too.
MugiAnd it's easy to stop by after work on weekdays, and they're open on Sundays too, right? Being able to swing by near Gotanda Station after work is the best!
Hop BroThey're open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 17:00 to 23:00, and Sunday from 16:00 to 21:00, so it's easy to make a night of beer tasting. Whether you go hop-forward or play with local beers, just thinking about it gets the throat going.
MugiYeah, this makes me want to have a drink in Gotanda! I'll start with mapo tofu rice and an IPA, then try a sour too!
