From the site:

We’re thrilled to announce that Slipping Into Darkness, our annual celebration of stouts, is returning on March 2, 2024! Join us at the brewery from noon to 4pm for a ticketed stout sampling event featuring over 25 of our stouts including Madagascar and Chocolate Milk Stout variants as well as delicious dark and roasty offerings from guest breweries in Columbia, Kansas City and St. Louis. Our favorite local DJs will keep the vibe just right with tunes throughout the afternoon and Master Blaster: A Tribute to Stevie Wonder Featuring Steve Ewing of The Urge will perform live in the tent during the festival. 

Our on-site culinary partner, Peacemaker, will be creating special menu offerings for the event, but if you’re looking to pair your stouts with BBQ, Sugarfire Smoke House will be on hand OR if sweets are your thing, De'Lish Emporium has you covered with desserts from scratch. 

Your $60 ticket includes the opportunity to taste 25+ 4 Hands Brewing stouts and guest taps, a Slipping Into Darkness stainless pint for tastings and a Slipping Into Darkness gift! Food may be purchased separately. Designated driver tickets which include access to the event and the Slipping Into Darkness gift are available for $20. Please note that this is a beer festival event and no drinks will be available for purchase outside the fest lineup and designated driver ticket holders will not be permitted to taste.
