Paint Palette Brewing to Release Limited "BREATH OF TANO" at 5 p.m. for the ABC Festival
On Instagram, Oenbed introduced Paint Palette Brewing's limited beer "BREATH OF TANO." The style is FARMHOUSE ALE WITH COFFEE, and the ABV is 5.5%. It is being presented as one beer for the Kyoto After-Bath Craft Beer Festival 2026, with taps scheduled to open gradually from 5 p.m.
Hop BroThis time's centerpiece is a limited release from Kobe brewery Paint Palette Brewing, and it's being rolled out in time for the Kyoto After-Bath Craft Beer Festival 2026.
MugiWhat! A limited beer made for the festival? And the name is BREATH OF TANO? Even the breathing sounds stylish!
Hop BroThe style is a pretty unusual FARMHOUSE ALE WITH COFFEE. It's like combining the lightness of a saison with the character of coffee.
MugiWhat's a farmhouse ale anyway? Is it beer you drink in a rice field? That suddenly feels very farm beer-like!
Hop BroBroadly speaking, it's a beer with lively, slightly wild fermentation aromas. Add coffee depth to that, and the roasted character becomes much more three-dimensional.
MugiWhoa, the ingredients are interesting too! TAOCA COFFEE's Indonesian Tano Batak sounds powerful and delicious!
Hop BroThey said this bean brings out earthy, spicy, nutty, and herbal notes. And what's fun is that as the temperature rises, you get tropical changes too.
MugiWait, the flavor changes with temperature!? So the first sip and the later ones are like different people - a transforming beer!
Hop BroAnd since the ABV is 5.5%, it's nicely easy to drink without being too heavy. The balance of strong character without excess weight is spot on.
MugiThen it sounds perfect as the first drink at the event! Hearing taps opening gradually from 5 p.m. makes me want to keep staring at the clock!
Hop BroIt's a beer that really fits Paint Palette Brewing, with a name and flavor that both call up vivid imagery. Even the waiting time before the limited tap opening makes it one you want to drink properly.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I'm thirsty just reading this! I want to gather in front of the tap right now!
Hop BroAll right, the answer today is simple. Let's go chase BREATH OF TANO and start with a pour.
According to Oenbed's Instagram post, the beer introduced in this update is a limited release positioned as a "SPECIAL DARK BEER." The label featured under `No.9 PAINT PALETTE BREWING` is BREATH OF TANO. The style is FARMHOUSE ALE WITH COFFEE, and the ABV is listed as 5.5%.
For the ingredients, it uses Tano Batak from Indonesia, sourced through TAOCA COFFEE, a specialty coffee roaster with locations in Nishinomiya and Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture. The post explained that, in addition to earthy, spicy, nutty, and herbal impressions from the coffee beans, tropical fermentation-driven nuances and flavors reminiscent of dark chocolate emerge as the temperature changes.
