Lamplighter Brewing Co. is an employee-owned craft brewery headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Founded by Cayla Marvil and AC Jones, Lamplighter opened its first location and taproom on Broadway in 2016 in a former auto repair shop, and opened a second taproom and production space at Cambridge Crossing in February 2022. Today the company operates two taprooms in Cambridge, plus Pepita, an in-house coffee shop at the Broadway location, and distributes its beer to restaurants and stores in Massachusetts and a few other northeastern states. Lamplighter became employee-owned in October 2026 when it implemented an employee ownership trust. After a decade of running the brewery, founders Cayla Marvil and AC Jones chose to make Lamplighter employee-owned to keep the company locally rooted while giving employees a voice in governance and a share in future profits. Ownership is spread among employees, and the trust is run by a five-person Trust Stewardship Committee, on which the founders will still sit. They stepped back from day-to-day operations, and Canaan Khoury is now CEO.EO reinforces Lamplighter’s focus on community and craft, and its mission to “make good beer while doing good.”
