There will be some ATL BA's at the event. The VIP ticket will have some great beers. Some of those will be available to the masses, for an extra fee. They just posted the list. http://www.hotoberfest.net/2012/pdf/HOToberFestBeerList2012.pdf It will be a good time.
They have also posted a map of the festival. There is a VIP pod and a VIP cask pod available to general admission folks, but each taste is a token, and you start with 2. Does not say how much extra tokens cost. There is also a VIP Only area that is just that. And VIP starts an hour early. https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=212884850958033050467.0004c1ba5c41f81835351&msa=0&ll=33.769997%2C-84.364936&spn=0.004143%2C0.009543
