    Lamplighter Brewing Co. (Cambridge, Massachusetts)

    Rabbit Rabbit (New England Style Double IPA); 8.5%; 16oz can
    A dangerously drinkable New England-style double IPA brewed with Citra, Amarillo, and Idaho 7. This beer is a veritable juice bomb, boasting huge hop flavors of mango, melon, and ripe fruit.

    Is Idaho 7 hard to get?

    What hop would you like to try but have not?

    What was your worst concoction or formula that sounded good but didnt work?

    The designs for your beer labels are always so consistent yet unique. They are both clean and colorful with intricate artwork and a minimalist aesthetic. Could you tell us more about your design process and what goes into deciding the name and art for your beers?

    Is it true that all the founders went to brewing school together? I'm lucky to be near you guys and every beer I've had has been on point. Consistently great beer.

    I love the name. How hard is it to think of beer names that have not been used before?

    Cheers!

    Not a question just showing the love..I hit lamp i think when you guys were just about a year open and the tap room was the best. Then ended up getting engaged to a woman who lived a street over in Central Sq and you guys became second home. Rabbit Rabbit is a go to now.

    Great beer! Have you ever tried sitting backwards on the toilet and using the back of the toilet as a little table for your beer?

    First, love your beer and great taproom. There was a bit of shade thrown at hazy, New England style IPAs in the first session, so, can you tell our lovely hosts why NE IPAs are so delicious!

    Their Major Tom Galaxy IPA label - the one with the dark blue background, a bunch of stars, and a tiny cat silhouette, is my favorite from them.

    Great tasting beer, hits some great tropical notes and nice orange ending. For being a double this is super crushable. I noticed that the beer poured out clearer then most NE is this your normal style or did you clear this one up a bit more?

    I love how long the aftertaste lasts on the tongue once taking a sip. Not many can do that.

    What's your desert island IPA that's not your own, and why?

    Native from Jamaica Plain here, but love what’s going on in the brewery scene in Cambridge right now. Rabbit rabbit is one of my favorite runs going.

    What other brewery’s have you scene pop up in your neighborhood, and if you had to choose between native and western which would you choose?

    That is a clean-drinking hazy, what a pleasant surprise!

    This is great. How do you keep the salt in the Cambridge water from ruining the beer?
