Erin Lonsway with Bella Amica, another downtown Youngstown business, stopped by Youngstown Studio to sit with Lisa Resnick of Homes and Hops to talk about her love of Youngstown, and how she wanted to be part of its growth. And of course we enjoyed our conversation over a delicious Penguin City Beer.

Joe Danyi with Youngstown Studio

The man behind Youngstown Studio, Joe Danyi… Constantly creating and thinking outside the box has been the key to Joe’s success… along with his constant determination and growth. It was great to hear how Youngstown Studio came to be, and how he plans to continue to expand his footprint in the industry. Joe is doing AMAZING things.

Andrew DiPaolo of WFMJ

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.

Elisha of Babcia’s Lunchbox and Sarah of Modern Methods

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.

They talk about what’s changed since they were growing up, all our area has to offer, and where we’re going. And of course, some opinions about our local craft beer scene and some cool stories from his time covering the Buffalo Bills. Enjoyed over some cold ones from Noble Creature and Modern Methods.
