Chef, brewery collaborate on new beer that pays homage to Santa Clara Valley flavors
Briefly

At Hapa's location in San Jose, Chef Rodney Baca expressed, 'We really love the valley, and it doesn't get a lot of credit for what we have here...

This quote emphasizes Baca's commitment to showcasing local flavors through his collaboration with Hapa's Brewery.
