Things We Don't Say IPA is a nationwide beer collaboration that aims to break the stigma surrounding mental health. Our version of the beer is our take on a classic West Coast IPA brewed with grapefruit. This project is one that hit’s extremely close to home for our family here at Roadmap. Dustin’s childhood best friend, Chase, suffered from depression and ultimately took his own life at the young age of twelve years old.
Like so many around us, Chase appeared on the outside to be the poster child of happiness - a young, athletic and talented artist who lived with a loving family and was always cracking jokes. But unfortunately, also like so many around us, he had “THINGS HE DIDN’T SAY”
Chase was depressed and did not have the knowledge or means to understand what he was feeling. The THINGS WE DON’T SAY initiative’s goal is to shake the stigma and shine a light on mental health - while giving those who are struggling an outlet to understand that they’re never alone.
Whilst every other brewery will be releasing their version of this IPA during May for Mental Health Month - we have chosen to release our’s on what would have been Chase’s 31st birthday (June 18th, 2021).
Our label will proudly feature Chase’s artwork (pictured above) and 100% of the profits will be split evenly and donated in his honor to HOPE FOR THE DAY and SOLACE HOUSE.
If you or someone you know is going through anything - please remember that “It’s Okay Not To Be Okay”
