2024 Holiday Gift Guide
Some things we love (and would be thrilled to receive) from Lamplighter and beyond!
While this list is mostly geared towards people who like beer, we've snuck in a few non-beer items as well. To help make your holiday shopping even easier, we've also included some of our favorite goodies from our friends around Cambridge! Happy Holidays!
Gifts for the Epicurean.
We all have someone on our list who is always trying new recipes, exploring new beers, and endlessly on the hunt for the very best to eat and drink. For them, we recommend A membership to the Luminary Society!
This year-long membership will be the gift that keeps on giving with 6 new releases of our finest barrel-aged beers over the course of the year - a new bottle every other month. Plus, they'll get access to exclusive events and merch. Top tier gift.
If you're looking for a smaller gift, a gift set from our friends at Curio Spice Co. is another great option! Their careful sourcing practices and artful blends will elevate your favorite foodie's spice cabinet and each recipe thereafter.
For the tea lovers, we also recommend a gift set or sampler from our friends at MEM Tea in Somerville! We've worked with MEM for a few different beers and even serve their teas at Pepita, our in-house coffee shop. All of their offerings are hand-picked and gently processed for the fullest flavor possible.
Gifts for beer lovers who have everything.
For someone who has everything, or tastes you can't predict, get the beer lover in your life an experience! We offer a Brewery Tour and Tasting on the first Saturday of every month that provides attendees with a deep dive into the beer making process. One of our knowledgeable team members will take you on a behind-the-scenes tour of the production space. Along the way, you’ll taste different Lamplighter beer styles, learn about each key beer ingredient, and chat about factors that influence different flavor outcomes in beer.
Get two tickets here and share the experience with them!
For more experiences, our brewer, Grace, suggested this book Beer & Hiking New England for adventures across the region.
gifts for the beer lover drinking out of a regular pint glass
Also a good gift for those in their 20s (and lets be real, 30s) who may not have that many beer glasses/glassware in general.
A pint glass is classic, timeless, and pretty universal on a beer drinkers shelf. BUT other shapes and styles of glassware can elevate the experience based on your giftee's favorite beers!
The IPA folks - Get them a Tulip Glass! This shape is perfect for big bold IPAs. The narrower neck helps enhance hop aromas and retain the head while delivering perfect flavor with every sip.
The Barrel-Aged fans - Get them a Stemmed Harmony Glass! Elegant and classic, the stemmed harmony glass is perfect for complex, barrel aged, and funky beers. They capture and enhance the complex aromas of these specialty beers and elevate the whole drinking experience.
The Lager Lover - Get them a Willi! Perfect for a variety of beers (lagers, stouts, goses) and shaped to promote proper head and aroma retention. It's a versatile gift for any beer aficionado! Plus we have two designs to pick from: Tiled or Anniversary Edition.
If you're looking for other houseware gifts, we love Myrth Ceramics in Providence, RI (but formerly Boston). We use their mugs in the taproom and they are so beautifully crafted and can fit any home decor.
Gifts for the Lamp Fans
If you've gotten this far, you or someone you know is a Lamplighter fan. We just released brand new merch featuring some of our favorite beers. These stylish new pieces are perfect for gifting. Grab a cozy sweatshirt featuring Rabbit Rabbit or a Radio Waves long sleeve and you'll be sure to see them wearing it over and over again.
We also have these very cute Rabbit Rabbit Can chew toys, if your giftee has a dog or is one.
Another great gift for people who love beer is beer. Stop by either location and get a 4-pack or gift card or order online.
During this time of giving, we also recommend making a donation to a non-profit of your choice. Below are the non-profits we've worked with this year across a variety of focus areas. Donate directly through the links below!
