Goldfinger Brewing Company

The Goldfinger Brewing Company is a lager focused microbrewery located in Downers Grove, two blocks northwest of the Fairview Metra station.

The Goldfinger family knows beer! From the mid-1800s till the early 1900s, Goldfingers across Central Europe sold hops, malted barley, and crafted beers on brewing equipment that they designed and manufactured.  At their St. Philip Street brewery and pub in Krakow, in a bygone era, locals would exclaim, “na Zdrowie!” as they clinked together mugs filled with their crisp brews.

Today, the robust brewing tradition of our ancestors is reborn at Goldfinger Brewing Company of Downers Grove, Illinois. Combining traditional European methods with American creativity and innovation, a genuine descendant of the Goldfingers crafts only the most aromatic and deliciously flavorful lager style beers. Made with the finest raw materials and persevering care, Goldfinger Brewing Company promises beers of the highest quality and subtle complexity.

Beer #2 we’re releasing at this Saturday’s Maifest: A Spring Party is Spring Beer (Frühlingsbier). The latest addition to our lineup of beers named after the season where they most appropriately reside is a celebration of the subtleties of lager. We embrace the opportunity to create beers whose character depends so vitally on the climate and agricultural circumstances of the places from which the raw materials come. Building a recipe that strikes a balance in water, malt, hops, and yeast expression can be challenging but immensely rewarding to us as producers and all of us as consumers. This beer is refreshing, malty in the right places, hop aromatic in the right places, and truly gulpable at only 4.8% abv. ... See MoreSee Less
