Visiting Pittsburgh Seltzer Works for the 1st Time
Visiting Pittsburgh Seltzer Works for the 1st Time
This past week I was in Pittsburgh and meet in person, for the first, John Seekings, proprietor of the Pittsburgh Seltzer Works, whom I have been interviewing for over 4 years and whose business is the centerpiece of my book. It was thrilling to meet him for the first time and to walk the floors of the Works. John was as generous as ever – with his time and stories – and helped me to understand the Works in a new way, up-close and personal.
I took a video that I will prepare and share at a later date but, in advance, here are some photos. (View all the photos here)

Where the magic happens – the carbonater, which stirs C02 into chilled water to make seltzer.
