Paint Palette Brewing to Hold TTO in Kichijoji, 15 Beers Including 2 Advance Releases
Paint Palette Brewing will hold a tap takeover at CRAFT BEER MARKET Atre Kichijoji in Tokyo's Kichijoji. The lineup will feature 15 beers, including two advance releases, and the brewery's distinctive use of ingredients such as sake lees and smoked coconut is another highlight.
Hop BroThe highlight is the tap takeover that Paint Palette Brewing is doing at CRAFT BEER MARKET Atre Kichijoji in Kichijoji. With 15 beers on tap including two advance releases, it's a chance to show off Kobe's character all at once.
MugiWait, 15 beers all at once!? That sounds like the bar turned into a beer exhibition.
Hop BroExactly, and it's not just about the number. What's interesting is that they use sake lees, lemongrass, and even smoked coconut. The idea of drawing scenes through ingredients is very much this brewery's style, and it reflects the concept of drawing a variety of scenes.
MugiI get sake lees, but smoked coconut sounds like the tropics are fighting a campfire. I can't even imagine what that tastes like!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. Smoked coconut can add a toasty aroma and a sweet finish, while sake lees can bring a fuller, fermentation-driven body. In other words, they're adding layers of flavor through the art of adjuncts.
MugiOh wow. It sounds complicated, but hearing it makes it sound delicious. And if the brewery is coming in person, that makes it even more fun because you can ask them directly!
Hop BroThey say brewery staff are scheduled to be at the bar from around 5 p.m., so being able to drink while hearing from the brewers is the best part. You get to experience in Kichijoji the Kobe-born character shaped by the atmosphere of Kobe's port city and the craft culture they encountered in the U.S.
MugiComing all the way from Kobe to Tokyo, and then actually standing behind the bar too? That's intense! That alone gives the special feel of a TTO.
Hop BroAnd another thing not to miss is the tasting set for the rice Hazy IPA MIXED MEDIA I-III. If you line up the changes across the three batches and drink them side by side, you can really tell how different each expression is even within the same style.
MugiThat sounds so interesting! And since it's a limited run using the last cans, it's basically first come, first served, right?
Hop BroExactly. If you're drinking in Kichijoji, this is a chance to experience the current Paint Palette Brewing lineup in full, including the two advance releases. This is definitely a must-try tasting.
MugiYeah, reading this makes my throat start looking for beer already! Tonight, I seriously want to go have a drink in Kichijoji.
Kobe-based brewery heads to Kichijoji
Paint Palette Brewing, based in Chuo Ward, Kobe, Hyogo, will hold a tap takeover at CRAFT BEER MARKET Atre Kichijoji in Tokyo's Kichijoji. In an Instagram post, the brewery announced the event as taking place "this weekend," and said brewery staff are also expected to be at the bar from around 5 p.m. on the day.
On its official website, the brewery describes its beers as something that "draws a variety of scenes." With the scenery of Kobe's port city and the craft beer culture it encountered in the United States as a backdrop, the brewery consistently focuses on combining ingredients and brewing techniques to create beers with vivid character.
The 15-tap lineup is the highlight
In this TTO, two advance releases will join the existing beers. The lineup shown in the post is as follows.
- GOLDEN MARGINS
- WIND FROM FARM
- BREATH OF TANO
- Drifted Weekend
- WHISPERING STREAM
- MIXED MEDIA I-III
- TIME TOWARD WARMTH
- SCENIC CONTOUR
- LAYERED MIRAGES
- HYPNOTIC GRAFITTI
- UNDER THE SUN
- STRONG FARMHOUSE ALE
What stands out in particular is the large number of beers made with ingredients such as sake lees, lemongrass, smoked coconut, and grape skins. Paint Palette Brewing's emphasis on "diversity" and "challenge" is reflected not just in the number of styles, but also in the breadth of ingredients it chooses.
A chance to compare and taste
At the venue, they will also sell a set that lets visitors compare the three batches of the rice Hazy IPA "MIXED MEDIA I-III," which is already being released across three batches. According to the Instagram post, it is a limited-edition offering made using the last cans from the first release, so it should be an especially scarce pour.
This TTO, in which a Kobe brewery shows off its identity at a Tokyo beer bar, looks like a chance to experience not only the beer itself but also the brewery's overall creative direction. A drink in Kichijoji should offer a glimpse of where Paint Palette Brewing stands right now.
