Did you know movie theaters can be local too? Meet Frank Moses one of the owners of Golden Star Theaters Austintown Cinema. When the national company Regal stepped away, Frank and his brothers saw an opportunity to create an amazing luxury theater experience right here in the Valley. Keeping it local, they even have our local beers from our talented brewers ready to serve. Sipping on some BIRDFISH BREWING CO., Frank tells us the ins and outs of owning a theater and all the improvements they’ve made in their Austintown location. Nothing beats the experience of watching a blockbuster in the theater, and nothing beats movie theater popcorn. #supportlocal #drinklocal

One of the major bonuses of moving the studio downtown… being in a central location for awesome people like Meteorologist Andrew DiPaolo at 21 WFMJ to easily walk over to say hi. It was a great time catching up with my friend over some delicious BIRDFISH BREWING CO. beer.

A new trend that I only see growing in popularity… Food and Beer, pairings that are spot on! Collaborations and creativity are key. As Elisa Veon of Babcia’s Lunchbox best stated what she is doing is being a “cultural evangelist” sharing the culture and sharing the history of her heritage through food. And Modern Methods Brewing Company has the same mindset, from the name of their brewery to the flavors of their beers. So these two together are the perfect pair through food, beverage and podcast guests. Thank you Sarah Keck and Elisha Veon for sharing your history and bringing to us a way to enjoy our history and learning other cultures through taste. #ealocal #drinklocal #smallbusinesses #thetrueentreprenuers
