Lays It All On The Table
If you’ve been ever been to A.C. you know that you usually come back one step closer to poverty line than before you left. Well fret no more because there is a place that is almost as easy on the pockets as the free drinks you get while you make charitable donations to the casinos bankroll.

Tun Tavern, conveniently located directly across the street from the Atlantic City convention center, started as Philadelphia’s first brew house in 1685 built by Samuel Carpenter. After relocating to the East Coast’s little city of sin, they have established themselves as one of the premier brewers in this area providing diners and drinkers alike with over 10 brews brewed on the premises
Beer connoisseurs and drunks alike can enjoy everything from their specialty Tunfest Lager, a “rich malty amber brewed strong to celebrate the seasons harvest”, or the Crimson Ale, a highly drinkable and tasty brew with a hint of dark malt to add some flavor, as well as a brandywine style bev with “sweet maltny-ness followed by generous hoppy-ness, aptly named the Freedom Ale, ‘cause aint no way an American brewery’s not gonna have the word freedom on the menu somewhere.

You, too, can brew
Friend of the blog John Holl steered us to this piece he wrote recently for his former task masters at The New York Times.
You can sit on the couch and have a commercial tell you all about (bland) triple-hopped Miller Lite (as if most beers don't get hops for bittering, flavor and aroma) or you can put on your work boots and find out for yourself, take at trip beyond the taste and aromas of the finished product.
Scott Cronick of The Press of Atlantic City gave that idea a shot, spending a day at the Tun Tavern in Atlantic City last month to help brewer Tim Kelly create a dunkelweizen that will be served at the Atlantic City beer fest March 2o-21 and, of course, at the Tun, under a tap logo that commemorates the occasion.
