Thousands among thousands of craft beer loving folks descended upon Bader Field in Atlantic City for the 2023 AC Beer Fest! Over 800,000 square feet of space filled with over 100 breweries pouring over 400 different kinds of suds from all over the country including all of our favorites from right here in the tri-state area. There were breweries from as far as Hawaii, Colorado, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, California and more all represented.
The other “Bad Boys from Boston” The Dropkick Murphy’s brought their raucously fun show to the session 1 crowd on Saturday, with the fellas from 311 bringing some Omaha Stylee to the massive session 2 crowd at Bader Field on Sunday. The 2023 AC Beer Fest also featured a number of other local acts & DJs on side stages, as well as other amusements, activities and slew of yummy food trucks.
These were special performances for both Dropkick Murphys and 311, with both set to hit the road on their respective tours later this month and running though most of the rest of the year. This was also the closest to the Philadelphia area we will see either band for the rest of 2023. (sigh)
