Because, in addition to being a Real Place, Happy Valley is also a State of Mind.
The Happy Valley we all know and love rests in the sheltering shade of
Mount Nittany as it rises majestically to meet the blue and white sky.
But in a larger sense, Happy Valley is Any Place we gather to remember the
old times and celebrate the good times with our friends and families.
We invite you to revisit your own personal Happy Valley by drinking this beer,
lovingly hand-crafted for your enjoyment by Head Brewer, Josh Davies.
