Brewpub Truth taps seven beers including STONE IPA: Gotanda's latest tap list
Tokyo's Nishi-Gotanda brewpub Brewpub Truth released its tap list for May 23, 2026. The lineup includes standout domestic and imported beers such as STONE IPA, Pizza Port's Swami's IPA, and a sour from Dieu du Ciel!
Hop BroThe latest tap list Brewpub Truth in Nishi-Gotanda put out on May 23, 2026 is really interesting. Headlined by STONE IPA, it's a lineup that pulls in both IPA lovers and people who like something a little different.
MugiWhoa, they have STONE IPA!? That's already strong, but what else is on tap?
Hop BroToday it's not just classic IPAs either. They also have Pizza Port's Swami's IPA, Kanpai Beer's Kiyomizu-Zaka Bright IPA, and even a sour from Dieu du Ciel! It's an IPA and sour mix, so the tasting lineup just keeps going.
MugiSour means the tart kind, right? But what's a Wheat Sour? Is it just wheat juice gone sour?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a style that layers acidity over the soft character of wheat. Dieu du Ciel!'s Solstice d'Ete Cerises this time has a strong cherry tartness, so it's sweet-tart and crisp.
MugiOh, I see! Then Katashina Brewing's two beers sound interesting too! With Gotanda-themed names, they must really carry the local vibe.
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Gotanda Breath is a Scotch ale with chestnut at 7%. Under the Dark, Gotanda Sky is a grapefruit session IPA at 4.5%. Even from the same brewery, they swing in opposite directions, from rich to light.
MugiWhat, that's like a roller coaster of moods from the same shop! And English Mild w Chilis really means they put chilis in a mild?
Hop BroThey do, and that's what makes it interesting. Tokyo Aleworks x Barney of Napalm Death's A Bellyful of Malts and Peace is a 4% beer built around malty richness with a little chili kick added, and it's the kind of beer that becomes addictive despite how it looks.
MugiIf the food includes Mapo-Tofu Rice and Utsunomiya gyoza, it feels like a place where the beer goes down fast. It's Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 17:00-23:00, and Sunday from 16:00-21:00 too, so now I want to head to Gotanda and toast already!
