Members can expect a bottle release approximately every other month (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sept, and Nov). When a new Luminary Society bottle is released, members will receive an email with information about the beer, pick-up logistics, and details regarding any associated release events. At this time, members may also elect to purchase one-off shipping to anywhere in Massachusetts. Shipments must be received by an adult who can sign for the package and show a valid government-issued 21+ ID. Pricing is dependent on UPS shipping costs, and will be updated at the time of purchase. All packages are shipped overnight and will be delivered within a week of release date.

If you don’t elect to pay for shipping you’ll be asked to select the Lamplighter taproom at which you’d like to collect your bottle(s), either 284 Broadway or 110 N First St. If no option is selected, we’ll automatically hold your bottles at our Broadway brewery location. For your convenience, you can designate your preferred pick up location with each new bottle release. Bottles will be held for three weeks after each release.

If you are unable to pick up your bottle(s) within that time frame, or if you’d like to arrange for someone else to pick up your bottle on your behalf, you may email luminarysociety@lamplighterbrewing.com for assistance. Please note that anyone picking up a Luminary Society bottle must show a valid ID proving that they are 21+.

Any bottles allocated for the Luminary Society members that are not picked up / set to be delivered by the end of the year (December 31, 2025) will be considered property of Lamplighter Brewing Co. and will be forfeited without refund.

We reserve only the very best small-batch, barrel-aged beers for Luminary Society releases. These beers are not otherwise available to the general public, and hold an extra special place in our hearts (and cellars). If for any reason you are unhappy with a 2025 Luminary Society release, we will allow you to exchange it for any bottle in our cellar at no additional cost.
