LAMPLIGHTER BREWING COMPANY VIRTUAL BEER TASTING 

The new weekly tasting series offers a unique virtual experience: drink some delicious beers along with Lamp staff, while tuned in to our Zoom-based beer school! Every week, the brewery puts together a different beer pack and lesson around a unique theme. Pick up the beer at the brewery, then tune into the virtual tasting and class via video call from the comfort of your home. These tastings are in support of local service industry workers, with 100% of the class proceeds and tips on purchases going to the Emergency Funds for Boston Area Service Workers GoFundMe, a fundraiser benefiting over 400 individual workers. These are tough times for our community, and all support is greatly appreciated. Additional donations can be made here.
