Paint Palette Brewing announced that it will hold a joint tap takeover with AQ Bevolution at IBREW Ebisu on Saturday, March 28 and Sunday, March 29. It looks set to be a two-day event where beers from the Kobe-based brewery and notable overseas craft selections can be enjoyed at the same time.
Hop BroHere's this weekend's buzz: March 28-29 Paint Palette Brewing is doing a joint tap takeover with AQ Bevolution at IBREW Ebisu!
MugiWhat! In Ebisu!? A venue two minutes from the station is perfect even for a chronic direction-loser like me!
Hop BroThe AQ side is centered on Barebottle Brewing and Trap Door Brewing with about 10 beers, while Paint Palette is planning about 12, so it looks like a roughly 20-beer lineup in total.
MugiWait, what even is "beer types"!? This suddenly feels like a science experiment and got weirdly hard!
Hop BroSimply put, it means the number of beers connected on tap, and a tap takeover is an event that takes over a shop's pour spouts all at once, basically a faucet-jacking stunt.
MugiThat sounds fun! So, have the beer names and styles been announced yet? I want to study up and act smug!
Hop BroThe individual beer names are more of a day-of surprise, but the article's focus is on Paint Palette's lineup and AQ's curated overseas selections, and the key point is that it'll be a highly varied tasting lineup.
MugiAnd there are guest visitors on the 28th too, right? With a rock-paper-scissors merch giveaway on top of that, the event is already strong before the drinking even starts!
Hop BroRight, Togami from Paint Palette and KOTOMI from AQ are scheduled to come, so you might even hear about the background of the Kobe-born brewery, and you'll probably get a direct feel for what this brewery that started in summer 2025 is like now.
MugiA weekend where a rising Kobe brewery meets overseas craft sounds perfect. I fully want a drink right now, so Hop bro, let's toast together!
According to a post on Paint Palette Brewing's Instagram, a joint tap takeover with AQ Bevolution will be held at IBREW Ebisu on Saturday, March 28 and Sunday, March 29.
The venue is a 2-minute walk from Ebisu Station. In the post, AQ Bevolution is expected to pour about 10 beers, centered on Barebottle Brewing and Trap Door Brewing, while Paint Palette Brewing is scheduled to have about 12 beers on tap. The event details section also says "about 10 from each company, 20 in total," so either way, it promises a diverse lineup.
Also, on Saturday, March 28, Togami from Paint Palette Brewing and KOTOMI from AQ Bevolution are scheduled to appear, and a rock-paper-scissors contest for merch is also planned.
Paint Palette Brewing is a brewery based in Kobe, Hyogo. In the post, it is introduced as a brewery that started in the summer of 2025 inside "awaawaKOBE" in Chuo Ward, Kobe City. On its official website as well, it presents itself as "a brewery that paints a variety of scenes," drawing on brewing experience accumulated in the United States and Kyoto, and emphasizes making expressive beers that combine ingredients and technique.
As spring gets underway, a rising brewery from Kobe and the context of overseas craft will intersect in Ebisu. For beer fans in the Tokyo metropolitan area, it looks set to be a weekend event well worth comparing side by side.
