Brand-new Brews
In an increasingly crowded local and national craft beer scene, it can be challenging to distinguish oneself. Lamplighter Brewing Co. (284 Broadway, Cambridge, 617-945-0450, lamplighterbrewing.com) near Central Square has done just that, however, with its mission to create funky twists on familiar styles while still remaining accessible to the average beer drinker. Currently open only for growler sales, the brewery’s taproom is set to make its debut on November 15. Not only will it offer beer along with tater tots and locally made hot dogs but it will also host a morning cafe and coffee shop run by Longfellows—a Cambridge-based roaster also serving waffles, donuts and more—for an all-day brew experience.
