The Curmudgeon makes a radio appearance.

My friend Mike Stephens is the proprietor of Youngstown Cigar Shoppe in Jeffersonville, Indiana, and for the past year he has moonlighted as the host of Kentuckiana Business Talk on WAVG-1450, a local AM radio station.

At Mike's request, I joined him tonight for beer chat, and it was a kick.

We touched on frequently asked questions pertaining to beer and beer appreciation, and Mike provided ample opportunities to tout my pub and brewing business, as well as the FOSSILS homebrewing and beer appreciation club, of which Mike is a longtime supporter.

Mike's show airs every Sunday from 5:00 p.m. to - 6:00 p.m., but catch it soon, because he's decided not to renew his contract for another year.

Upcoming events at Youngstown Cigar Shoppe (located in the Youngstown Shopping Center on US 62 in Jeff) include Mike's customer appreciation and Christmas open house on Saturday, December 10. There'll be cigars, food and refreshments. Call him at (812) 284-6044 for details.
