Seen Through A GlassAuthor: Lew Bryson
Seen Through A Glass is mostly about drinks and food in central Pennsylvania, hosted by long-time drinks writer Lew Bryson. There are shows about particular products -- maple syrup, soft-serve ice cream, whiskey -- or profiles of individual towns, like Lock Haven, Carlisle, or Altoona. We also talk about life in central Pennsylvania, and what you can find there: covered bridges, excursion railroads, state parks, anything interesting we can find between Williamsport, Clarion, Johnstown, and Harrisburg (and occasionally elsewhere, when I travel). We do interviews, visits and descriptions, and theres always What Im Drinking Today; might be whiskey, might be beer, might be coffee. Grab a slice and a glass and join us!Seen Through A Glass accepts NO money from the businesses and people I talk to. If that ever changes, Ill let you know.

Dive Bars In The Woods; Season 3, Episode 91
Episode 100
Thursday, 8 October, 2026
We went hunting dive bars in the Pennsylvania Wilds. My friends Dave and Rich went with me on a six bar tour of north-central PA. We hit Mountain Top & Provisions and Pat Reeder's Tavern in Haneyville, The Waldheim of Germania, the celebrated Perma Stone Inn in Galeton, Kinney's Country Store and Jeff's Bar in Cross Fork, and the Green Lantern in Drury Run. We had a great time, and learned some things about this category of dive bars. Just before that trip, the three of us went to a cabin on an island way up north in Lake Huron for 9 days, and I'll tell you about the mad cooking we did up there (and the cocktails!). I have a challenge for you! People's Provisions, where we went in Episode 62, is a great little grocery store out in rural Perry County that has a program for getting excess produce from farmers onto the tables of people who really need it. They're giving away a lot of food this year, with grocery prices continuing to rise, and they're behind the curve. I just sent them $50, and I'm challenging you to donate to this central PA program. It all goes directly to people who really need it. Go here and hit the "Pay It Forward" button, and bump that amount up to what you can afford. Make a difference in central PA! Another reminder: the Kinzua Skywalk is open through the end of October! Now's the time to go leaf-peeping, the word is it's at peak right now. Get out there! What I'm Drinking Today is The Raven Schwarzbier from New Trail Brewing. I found this at our first stop on the dive bar tour, happy to be able to grab one. One last word from our temporary sponsor, DelGrosso Foods, featuring their fundraising business, Marianna's Fundraisers, that can help your central PA non-profit raise money for the things that matter! Next episode? I literally have no idea. I've got a GREAT idea for November that's coming together nicely, though. See you in two weeks! Until then? TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE PODCAST!
