Atlantic City Beer & Music Festival

The Atlantic City Beer & Music Festival 20TH Anniversary LAST CALL
Saturday, April 11, 2026 • Atlantic City Convention Center

Presented by Visit Atlantic City

After 20 years of beers, bands, memories, and absolute mayhem, the Atlantic City Beer & Music Festival rolls back into the Atlantic City Convention Center for one final weekend, a true Last Call honoring everything this festival has meant to the craft beer community. On Saturday, April 11th, we send off two decades of AC Beer Fest with one last savory hoorah, built for the fans who turned this event into one of the most beloved beer festivals in the country.
For two decades, Good Time Tricycle Productions has worked year-round to bring some of the best names in craft brewing to this seaside city, creating a festival rooted in discovery, connection, and a shared commitment to #drinkbetterbeer. The 20th Anniversary edition pulls every bit of that history together for one unforgettable farewell featuring some of the finest breweries on the planet (but mostly the East Coast… because we all know they show up).

On Saturday, April 11th, the Convention Center transforms one last time for 2 sessions of: craft beer, music, food, education, mayhem, weirdness, and that signature AC Beer Fest chaos you’ve come to love. Attendees will explore breweries, compare classics, discover new releases, and connect directly with the brew teams who helped build both the region’s beer culture and this festival’s legacy.

Saturday Sessions — LAST CALL
Session 1: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM - With Bayside
Session 2: 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM - With The Starting Line

Expect mouthwatering grub, culinary demos, our Mystery Beer Fest to test your tasting skills, educational sessions, wing battles, wild games, Silent Disco, hatchet throwing, keg tossing, creative vendors, beer-inspired goods, and all the unpredictable shenanigans that made this festival legendary.

Musical lineups drop January 5th, and trust us, the 20th Anniversary acts are going to hit different.
Your ticket includes tastings from all participating breweries, a commemorative 20th Anniversary mug, access to both music stages, demos, interactive entertainment, the Silent Disco, vendors, and your final chance to be part of the AC Beer Fest story. And of course, the people-watching remains undefeated.
Twenty years. Hundreds of breweries. Countless stories. One final weekend.
The juice has always been worth the squeeze, but this Last Call is truly once-in-a-lifetime.
 
BONUS EVENT — FRIDAY, APRIL 10th

The Rare Beer Festival
Friday, April 10th | 7PM–11PM | Anchor Rock Club, Atlantic City

Shhh… this one’s kinda secret.
For our 20th Anniversary sendoff, we’re dropping a one-night-only Rare Beer Festival at Anchor Rock Club, the unofficial “secret session” of #ACBeerFest. This intimate, 350-person insider hang features 25 of the region’s most unique, small-batch, cellar-aged, casked, weird, wild, and otherwise impossible-to-find beers, each poured with the stories, insight, and personality straight from the brewers themselves.
Every brewery is digging deep to bring out the unicorns, the stuff that never sees daylight. Add in a “WTF did I just watch?” Brewery convos, fresh-shucked oysters from Ludlum Bay, and passed bites from our friends at Cardinal, and you’ve got a pregame built for the true diehards.

It’s not a crowd, it’s a vibe.
A 350-person, laugh-too-loud, swap-stories-with-brewers, once-in-a-lifetime tasting room where you will never drink this lineup again.
Come thirsty. Leave bragging.
