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.

It is fermented very cold, and lagered for a minimum of seven weeks even colder.

A tale of two lagers. Krakow, a beer intended to reflect the beers brewed by our ancestors at their 19th century brewery in Krakow. Incorporating Moravian barley and three classic Polish hops for a pleasant and complex balance of rich malts and herbs and spices. Naturally carbonated and unfiltered. West Coast Pils, a modern American style that evolved from hop heads looking for different ways to present the intricacies of Pacific Northwest hops. Using a Pilsner malt bill and lager yeast this beer provides a clean canvas for Callista, Citra, and Mosaic hops to shine. We employed a krausening technique to achieve natural carbonation post-dry hopping.Enjoy these beers while they’re still on tap in our taproom! ... See MoreSee Less

We are excited to announce that Goldfinger has acquired its own canning line! This was a project years in the making and we’re thrilled it has finally come to fruition. Over the years, we’ve relied on our excellent partner @wilcraftcan , a mobile canner. What does “mobile canning” mean? It is a company that brings their canning line to our brewery, hooks up to our tanks, and packages the beer for us. Consider this an official endorsement for their quality.As we continue to grow, having flexibility in our packaging schedule and taking the time to dial in our own equipment to reach our QA/QC goals is paramount. This is yet another step in our ongoing commitment to standing behind the quality and consistency of our lagers. We are still several months away from fully commissioning the line, but our production crew couldn’t contain its excitement over the future of Goldfinger lagers! ... See MoreSee Less
