A double tap takeover by Paint Palette Brewing and AQ Bevolution will be held at IBREW Ebisu Ekimae (Ebisu, Tokyo) from March 28 to 29. A total of 23 beers will be tapped at once, and representatives from both sides are scheduled to visit on the 28th.
Hop BroIt’s coming to Ebisu, and it’s a double tap takeover. From March 28 to 29, IBREW Ebisu Ekimae will host an event where Paint Palette Brewing and AQ Bevolution open a whole batch of taps at once.
MugiWait, two breweries at the same time!? I can barely process that, but it sounds insanely fun!
Hop BroExactly, and 23 beers will be tapped in total. It’s not just IPA, either, but a wide spread that includes sours and pilsners, so just thinking about the order to drink them in is exciting.
MugiHey, hey, what is a tap takeover anyway? It sounds like some kind of special move, like it’s super strong!
Hop BroSimply put, it’s like a draft-beer jackpot. A specific brewery or importer takes over a bunch of the taps at a bar, so you can enjoy that world all at once, more than usual.
MugiI see! And Paint Palette Brewing is the brewery inside awaawaKOBE, right? A brewery inside a sauna facility is already way too powerful as a concept!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. AQ Bevolution has a track record as an importer of overseas craft beer, so this collaboration came together through that connection, which makes sense as an event.
MugiAnd they’re scheduled to visit around 17:00 on the 28th? That feels so on the ground! If you can meet the people who made it, being able to hear about the beer before drinking it would be amazing!
Hop BroExactly. The lineup of Right’s Hazy IPA at 7%, Funky House Party’s Flanders red-style beer, Mckenzie Pils’s 5.5% pilsner, and Another Cut’s Hazy IPA at 6.5% is basically a textbook for tasting side by side.
MugiIf that much is lined up in Ebisu, I can only see myself falling into the tasting comparison rabbit hole...! I’m clearing my schedule for the end of March. I definitely want to go!
Hop BroIt’s settled then, let’s tour the draft beer scene in Ebisu. We’ll go after the beers that catch our eye among the 23 taps, and finish with a toast together. That’s the happiest way.
At IBREW Ebisu Ekimae, a Paint Palette Brewing x AQ Bevolution double tap takeover will be held. The event runs from March 28 to 29, with business hours from 13:00 to 23:00. The venue is a beer pub in Ebisu Minami, Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, conveniently located within easy walking distance from Ebisu Station.
This event will see a total of 23 beers tapped all at once. Paint Palette Brewing is a brewery that was born in the summer of 2025 inside awaawaKOBE, a natural hot spring spa and sauna in Chuo Ward, Kobe, Hyogo. AQ Bevolution is an importer that has brought high-quality craft beer from overseas to Japan, and this collaboration was made possible through the connection between the two.
On March 28, Mr. Togami from Paint Palette Brewing and Ms. KOTOMI from AQ Bevolution are scheduled to visit from around 17:00. There will also be a giveaway-style promotion, with merchandise possibly available for customers who order the eligible beers.
The new taps for the day are also notable for their range of styles.
- Right / BREAKEDGE BEER WORKS
- Hazy IPA, 7%, Hiroshima
- Funky House Party / Thunder Island Brewing
- Sour - Flanders Red Ale, 6%, UK
- Mckenzie Pils / West Coast Brewing
- McKenzie Pils, 5.5%, Shizuoka
- Another Cut / Ise Kadoya Brewery
- Hazy IPA, 6.5%, Mie
An appealing part of the lineup is that it clearly offers side-by-side comparison across IPA, sour, and pilsner styles. If you want to chase a diverse selection of draft beer in Ebisu, IBREW Ebisu Ekimae at the end of March is a place to watch.
