Brews, Tunes and Porn at Atlantic City Beer Fest and Beer Week


The eighth annual rendition of what may be the nation’s second-biggest beer fest is happening once again in Atlantic City on April 5th and 6th and this time there’s some seriously kick-ass music. Rusted Root, Reverend Horton Heat and The Bouncing Souls are headlining the AC Beer and Music Fest, which spans three sessions Friday night and Saturday. Hundreds of brews will be there for the sipping, and the illustrious and mustachioed promoter, Jon Henderson, expects 24,000 attendees, plus the Brazzers Girls (ask your husband–trust us, he’ll know). New this year is the Mustache Lounge, a relaxing side room where brewers and incredibly smart, talented and smoking hot experts from the beer world – who, me? – will lead mini beer demonstrations with food and chocolate.

The week of and following is AC Beer Week, getting kicked off with a beer dinner April 4 at Caesar’s prepared by Chris Scarduzio. The Sunday after the fest is a free Brooklyn Brewery brunch at Firewaters for fest ticket holders, and a full dinner-prep demo at Viking Cooking School led by Brooklyn’s chef. Other events bring beer historian and author Gary Monterosso to the cooking school, the brewers from Tuckahoe to The Pier, and specials galore to Harrah’s and Bally’s.
