With Oktoberfest right around the corner, Atlantic City is pulling out all the stops for their own celebration of beer and bites. Golden Nugget’s Beer Festival returns for the fourth year, a three-day event that includes nationally-acclaimed craft beers, food pairings and tons of live music.

The weekend starts on Friday, September 26, with a three-hour beer dinner. Golden Nugget chefs pair seasonal and specialty dishes with craft beers brought in just for the occasion. But the real event is on September 27, at the annual craft beer tasting. Starting at 7 PM, you can enjoy around 100 different beers from more than 40 breweries across the country. Meanwhile, the hit cover band Don’t Call Me Francis will be keeping you dancing, and appetizer bites are designed to pair perfectly with the beers on tap.

Alongside these two events, you can enjoy a Craft Beer Blowout at noon on the Bayview Deck. Going all day, you can buy beer and food individually without a ticket and enjoy individual food and drink pairings as the sun goes down. You can also help yourself to beer and sushi combos at Lillie’s Asian Cuisine all weekend. For just $25, you can enjoy five different pieces of sushi and five beer samplings.
