Lamplighter Brewing's "Dressed to the Nines" Anniversary Party

Celebrate Nine Years of Lamp! Prepare for an affair of unparalleled grandeur - we will be dressing to the nines in our best formal attire and ask you to join us for an evening of opulence. 🍻 The beer will be in abundance with FIVE new anniversary beers to choose from! Four of which are "dressed up" versions of Lamplighter's favorites over the last 9 years. (Think: A Chocolate-Orange version of Werewolves of Cambridge) 🍸 Our bar professionals will also be mixing beer cocktails brimming with class and character. 🥖 Pair an anniversary beer with haute hors d’oeuvres from the evening's Controne Italian Kitchen pop-up. Nothing is fancier than a crisp arancini in one hand and a stem glass in the other. 🎩 In keeping with the evening's theme, we look forward to seeing you all in your formal favorites (whatever that means to you). We will be giving out beer tokens to those who take "dressed to the nines" to the next level. 🪩 We’ll glam up the production floor for an extended party area featuring an elegant bottle pour station and glitzy games. 📸 Plus, a fancy photo booth to capture all of the evening's elegance. Raise a glass with us on Saturday, November 8th, at our <a href="https://lamplighterbrewing.com/brewery-locations/">original 284 Broadway taproom</a>! This FREE event is our way of saying thank you to the incredible community and supporters who have been with us on this amazing journey. Let's celebrate, reminisce, and create new memories. Cheers to nine years!! Please note that this event is 21+ and guests must show a valid government-issued photo ID upon entry.
