Lamplighter Brewing Company is a popular brewing company known for creating unique beers and memorable experiences. Their production specializes in producing New England IPAs, Brett IPAs, and barrel-aged sours. This brewery distributes its product through a wide distribution network encompassing most of Western Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Main, and the state of New York.
Lamplighter has multiple locations, with the original location opening in 2016 — CSI Engineering provided its design expertise for the renovations on the original location when the structure was first being converted.
In February 2022, Lamplighter Brewing officially opened its second location in Cambridge, Massachusetts, dubbing it the “Lamplighter CX Taproom”. The structure boasts over 6,000 square feet for the combined taproom and production space.
The Lamplighter Brewing team knew this location’s infrastructure required a comprehensive approach, in order to achieve their high standards for production quality and guest experience. Lamplighter partnered with CSI Engineering for it’s expertise and experience with breweries.
For this project, CSI Engineering employed a full systems design, catering to four critical areas of the two-story building’s infrastructure.
Specifically, CSI Engineering provided expertise and design work on the building’s Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Fire Protection systems.
The Boston Society of Architects (BSA) presented CSI Engineering with the 2018 BSA Design Award for the work done on this project. This award is only given to firms whose projects in the Massachusetts area exemplify innovation and excellence in design. This award is highly prestigious, with only a small number of firms being recipients each year.
