About Lamplighter Brewing Co. - CX
The CX taproom of Lamplighter Brewing Co. is on North First Street in Cambridge. It opened in February 2022 at Cambridge Crossing, a retail and residential development. The website says it is steps from the Green Line Lechmere T stop.
Lamplighter says its focus is aroma-packed, flavor-driven beer. That means New England IPAs, barrel-aged sours and special seasonals. The brewery also makes one-off batches and says it does not shy away from funk.
CX is the second Lamplighter taproom, after the original on Broadway. The website says this facility expanded the brewery's barrel-aging capacity and gave it more space to share beer. Google lists a wheelchair accessible entrance, parking lot, restroom and seating.
The website calls its taprooms family-friendly and asks parents to use their best judgment with children. It is one of the most reviewed beer spots in Cambridge on this site.
