Lamplighter Brewing Company FAQs

Does Lamplighter Brewing Company serve food? Lighter fare. Not a full menu.

Is Lamplighter Brewing Company kid friendly? Unsure. Best to check with the brewery before bringing your children to it.

Walkable from a day of shopping at The Garment District or to the (now closed) pool hall, Flat Top Johnny's, Lamplighter Brewing is an excellent taproom that can be found in The Port, a neighborhood sandwiched in between Central Square and Inman Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Beer

Lamplighter goes deep on beer styles, from the staples, such as IPAs and Pilsners, to a bit more diverse brews like Bourbon Wolves, a Porter aged in Bourbon Barrels, and Kendall Square, a Barrel-aged Mixed Fermentation Sour with strawberries Madagascar bourbon vanilla. LBCO covers the major Cambridge squares in their beers, including Central Square, Harvard Square, Inman Square, and of course, Kendall.

They also collaborate with Aeronaut Brewing just outside of Somerville's Union Square. Interstellar, their third collab, is a delightfully smooth DIPA that lives up to it's "snappy finish" billing. Plenty of juicy fruit from the melange of hops for you to enjoy.
