A blend of barrel-aged Russian Imperial Stout, fresh RIS, Dark Matter Coffee and vanilla.
3 Floyds, Dark Matter and Mastodon collaborated on a special release to mark National Suicide Prevention Week and raise funds for Hope for the Day, an organization that helps people and families of all shapes and sizes deal with mental health issues and suicide prevention.
This project is called "Crack the Skye," after the Mastodon album of the same name, which was dedicated to the Skye Dailor, the sister of Mastodon drummer Brann Dailor. Skye died of suicide at the age of 14, which had an obvious impact on her friends and family.
The beer has a special meaning for Brann, the band, Dark Matter and 3 Floyds, with proceeds benefiting Hope for the Day.
