This new Milwaukee beer is covered in mental health resources. Here’s why.

Things We Don’t Say IPA is more than a can of beer. It’s a way to spark conversations about mental health and get resources into the hands of people who may need them.

Milwaukee resident Nicole Henzel came up with the idea to have breweries use their platforms to spread mental health awareness in collaboration with the Chicago-based Hope for the Day. The nonprofit focuses on empowering conversations on proactive suicide prevention and mental health education.
