Eric Brembeck, owner and operator of STUDIO 35, one of the best independent movie theaters in Ohio, has added to the experience of movies, great pizza, and full bar with a new product: Mr. Pickle lemonade. A refreshing new lemonade with a touch of pickle brine which makes for an amazingly fun new take on lemonade. Not too sweet, and not to “pickled” he brought the new product to Whiskey Business to sample and also talk about the trials and tribulations of being an independent film house, competing with the big boys and thriving by giving movie fans MORE than just a movie to watch.
Over the years, Studio 35 has become a staple of the community and Eric is always thinking of ways to improve the experience.
Looking for a great night out at the movies AND a new fun drink to go along with it? Check out this latest episode of Whiskey Business.

Whiskey Business closed out the year with a great podcast from a funny, wise, inspiring and insightful comedian. Sumukh Torgalkar joined us to talk comedy, life, work, parents, relationships, and the holidays. In the mix was obviously humor, but also insight and perspective on all the above, dosed with laughter and even a little wisdom. As we close out another year, we wish you and yours the gift of peace and perspective in 2025 with hopes that the New Year brings us ALL what we may individually and together to make it year to remember. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Dino, Greg, John and Chip. Four not-so-wise men, but we try.

This week on Whiskey Business it was just “the guys”as we realized 2024 brought “milestone” birthdays to each of us. Greg turned 40. Chip turned 60. John will be 60 in a few weeks and I turned (ahem) 65. The lively, funny and at times serious discussion ranged from where we’re at, where we’ve been and most importantly where are we going with the gas that’s still left in our life tanks. If you’ve got a big birthday coming or have had one, give a listen or watch and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! You’re not getting older, you’re getting better! Right? Right?! Ugh…
