Brooklyn Seltzer Delivery
When I was a kid, I never could understand why people like seltzer. Now I drink it all the time and find it funny when people notice it.
I used to get deliveries from Ronny the Seltzer Man, but Ronny Beberman stopped delivering in 2006 due to an accident.
A friend gave me a Soda Stream, but the machine isn’t as good as the fresh stuff Ronny delivered.
Kenny Gomberg became the Seltzer man in Brooklyn. PBS did a special on him.
Kenny Gomberg, the third-generation owner of the Gomberg Seltzer Works bottles seltzer at 60 pounds per square inch., thick-walled glass bottles can hold that pressure. Plastic soda bottles, like the ones in grocery stores and the ones I use with my carbonator, cannot. (source) *
Gomberg Seltzer Works evolved into the Brooklyn Seltzer Boys in 2013 when Alex Gomberg modernized and moved the family business to a new location in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn.
Eli Miller was a seltzer delivery man and even had a children’s book written about him.
