Back in 2019, it was reported that the people behind a Cambridge brewery were looking to open a brewery, taproom, and distillery in another part of the city. Now we have learned that while they are still looking to open a second location, the plans have changed just a bit.
According to an article from Eater Boston and a post from Cambridge Day, Lamplighter Brewing on Broadway is going to be joined by Lamplighter CX (rather than Luminati Spirits, which was going to be its original name), which will reside in Cambridge Crossing in East Cambridge and will include a taproom and production space. Both articles say that plans for the distillery have been scrapped--at least for now--while the original location (which is roughly between Central Square, Inman Square, and Kendall Square) will remain in operation and currently includes outdoor dining/drinking and a cafe and retail area.
The website for Lamplighter, which debuted on Broadway in the latter part of 2016, can be found at https://lamplighterbrewing.com/
[February 18, 2022 update: According to a press release, Lamplighter CX will have its grand opening weekend from Friday, February 25 through Sunday, February 27, with its official opening taking place on Monday, February 28.]
