Welcome to the official blog of Hapa’s Brewing Company.  I created this blog to showcase my exploits in the brewing and culinary arts. 

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the word “hapa” I offer this brief definition: Hapa is a Hawaiian language term used to describe a person of mixed Asian or Pacific Islander racial or ethnic heritage.  I try to incorporate this idea of mixing cultures when I brew a batch of beer or fire up the barbecue, stove, smoker, oven, etc.  The goal is to combine the best flavors from different cultures to create unique and delectable food and drink.
