At DevilCraft Gotanda, a beer pub on the 9th floor of Seijitsu Building just a minute from Gotanda Station’s West Exit, the guest beer for Friday, July 17 was Oni Koen Kolsch. The post also said the shop was dealing with a sudden downpour while running a Friday-night service, and that the 7 p.m. seating was already full. Counter seats were described as first come, first served.

Oni Koen Kolsch is known as a collaboration beer between Sakamichi Brewing and DevilCraft Brewery. It should fit the day well: light, crisp, and easy to start with when the weather turns humid. DevilCraft Gotanda is a beer pub built around craft beer and Chicago-style pizza, so the tap change is part of the draw here. Guests can come for the beer first, then match it with food that is designed to go with a pint.

The 9th-floor setting gives the room a little distance from the station crowds, making it a comfortable place to settle in for a longer session. With weekday hours of 17:00-23:00 and weekend/holiday hours of 15:00-22:00, it works both for an after-work stop and for an earlier weekend round. If you like following rotating guest taps, this is one to keep on the radar.
