Hideji Beer to host 30th-anniversary special live with DRUM TAO on Sept. 23
Hideji Beer will host a collaboration event with DRUM TAO at its Mukabaki brewery in Nobeoka, Miyazaki, on September 23, 2026. The 30th-anniversary program combines a live performance, talk session, and beer-focused options including all-you-can-drink draft beer and BBQ.
Hop BroThis one is unfairly good. It’s Hideji Beer’s 30th anniversary event, and on September 23, 2026 they’re hosting DRUM TAO at their Gyotaki Brewery for “LIVE.TALK & BEER !!”.
MugiWhat! A beer event with a drum performance too? Live music and beer at the same time sounds like a full sensory attack!
Hop BroAnd the venue is the real hook. It’s an outdoor stage at the foot of Mount Gyotaki, so you get DRUM TAO’s performance and talk session up close.
MugiWhoa, that sounds amazing! Drinking in nature is always a win. And third year in a row means this collab is basically a tradition now!
Hop BroExactly. Tickets are 5,900 yen for general admission, or 10,900 yen for premium with front-row seating and a Premium Party included.
MugiWait, hold on. I get premium, but what does around six draft beers actually mean? Like, beer coming straight out of a giant barrel?
Hop BroHonestly, that’s not far off. Draft beer from kegs means beer served from a keg through a tap instead of bottles or cans, so you really notice the freshness and foam quality.
MugiOhhh, so it has that just-poured feel! But are the beer names and styles still a mystery? I need to know if we’re talking IPA, lager, or chaos!
Hop BroFor now, it’s still under wraps. The article doesn’t list specific beer names or styles, but there’s 2,500-yen all-you-can-drink plus a 3,000-yen BBQ plan, so it’s clearly built for serious Hideji Beer enjoyment.
MugiAnd they’ve got soft drinks too? That makes it family-friendly as well. Music, mountains, and craft beer in Nobeoka is kind of ridiculous in the best way.
Hop BroThat’s the appeal. You get sound, scenery, and beer right at the brewery itself, which is what makes this feel uniquely brewery-made rather than just another concert.
MugiI’m done for, my throat reacted on its own. September 23 is now officially beer with taiko drums day in my head, and yes, now I want a pint immediately!
A third straight collaboration
Hideji Beer will stage its special anniversary event, "DRUM TAO X Hideji Beer LIVE.TALK & BEER!!," on September 23, 2026 at the Mukabaki Brewery. According to the brewery, this marks the third consecutive year for the collaboration.
Live music in a brewery setting
The venue sits at the foot of Mt. Mukabaki, in a natural setting near the Sambosetsu-Kokutei Park area. Instead of a conventional hall, the event takes place on an open-air stage at the brewery, giving guests a close-up view of DRUM TAO's taiko-driven performance and talk segments.
Ticket options and beer add-ons
Two ticket types are listed: a general reserved seat ticket priced at JPY 5,900, and a premium ticket priced at JPY 10,900 that includes front-row seating and a Premium Party. Optional add-ons include an all-you-can-drink Hideji Beer plan for JPY 2,500 and a BBQ plan for JPY 3,000. The brewery says the beer plan covers about six kinds of draft beer.
A brewery rooted in Miyazaki
Hideji Beer is based in Nobeoka, Miyazaki, and the event reflects the brewery's use of its local landscape as part of the experience. Soft drinks are also available, making the program accessible to designated drivers and families as well as beer fans.
