Hop BroTakao Beer's 52 MUSIC vol.17 is shaping up to be a hot one this time, with Natalie Wise on the bill.
MugiWhat! A live show at a beer place? KO52 TAKAO sounds stylish just from the name!
Hop BroThe venue is KO52 TAKAO 2F, a two-minute walk from the south exit of Takao Station, and it's happening on Saturday, August 1, 2026.
MugiSeriously? I'm curious about Natalie Wise's lineup, but what do they do with spoken words?
Hop BroIt feels like a hybrid of sound and words: BIKKE's narration, Tetsuya Saito on pf and key, Hiroshi Takano on vo and gtr, and Tamami Kanda on Vn.
MugiWait, there's violin too!? That's not even just a live show anymore, it's an unbelievably luxurious night!
Hop BroWhat's more, Takao Beer emphasizes local ingredients and a low environmental impact, and it has a craft mindset that values music and art too.
MugiI see! It's not just about drinking; it's about tasting the whole atmosphere of the town. That's what makes it feel like Takao.
Hop BroBefore the live show, from 12:00 to 17:00, they'll be open as usual, with beer, mocktails, and light meals, so I'd want to settle in with an early drink.
MugiGot it, drinking while carrying the afterglow of the music sounds amazing! I already want to raise a glass in Takao right now!

Takao Beer is a small brewery that began in 2017 in Hachioji, the town at the foot of Mt. Takao. On its official website, the brewery states that it values using ingredients from the surrounding region, keeping its environmental impact low, and reflecting music and art in its brewing. This event can be seen as a direct expression of that philosophy.
On the day of the event, the taproom will operate normally from 12:00 to 17:00 before the live show begins, serving beer, mocktails, and light meals. Whether you want to enjoy a drink before listening to music or take in the afterglow of the performance in the taproom, that feels like a very Takao Beer way to spend the day. As an event that brings music and beer together for a night in Takao, it is one to watch.
