STOCKTON – Students may come and go.But over the years, they still find their way to some of the local hops.Take students from the University of the Pacific. At first, they’ll stick around the comforts of campus – in particular, the Don and Karen DeRosa University Center, which is the hub of student life with dining, retail, and entertainment – before branching out.“The Valley Brew is always a popular spot (in Stockton),” said Sonia Leong, who is an instructor at the conservatory of music.Kellie Jacobs has owned the Valley Brew Family Restaurant since 1997. From August to May, she knows when UOP students are back in school based on the boost to her business located at 157 W. Adams St.“We also get a lot of administrators here,” Jacobs said on Thursday.The Valley Brew has undergone several incarnations over the years, going from just a pub to one of the top entertainment spots in town.The roots go as far back as 1853.
