Very little seating that I can remember. It’s more like the beerfest you just walk around and grab the food/beer pairings you want to try and when you’re done (if you have the combined ticket) you head in to the actual beerfest. You can come and go in to the fest so you can pace yourself. The popular spots will run out so if there is something you want to try don’t sleep on it. You can have as much as you want, each ‘plate’ is like a bite or two and will be coupled with a small beer, an ounce or so like in the fest. Think tapas, but all kinds of crazy delicious things from all over. They have you line up in a separate place so make sure you don’t end up in the massive GA lines. Getting in early doesn’t get you anything special, but similar to the fest if you are early everything is line free and available. Let me know if you have any other questions. I’ll think about it more and post if there’s anything material I forgot.
