We only brew lager beer.

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.

Summer’s last hurrah! If you follow the Astronimical calendar, summer doesn’t end until the autumnal equinox on Sept 22nd, so you have plenty of time to enjoy our fresh batch of summer beer we just tapped. Or maybe we shouldn’t be so rigid and we can drink fresh beers regardless of their name or season (says the brewery who brews their Oktoberfest Marzen in March and doesn’t tap it until their Oktoberfest party on Sept 19th 😂). Nevertheless, we brewed one last batch of summer beer that is available on tap now. We will have fresh cans on Monday too, so stop in for some of those or let your favorite retailer know that despite the season its name is tied to, you plan to drink it because it’s delicious.@thestandbyfoodco will be here from 3-7pm. ...

SPECIAL THURSDAY TAPPING: Our friends @maplewoodbrew brewed our collaboration beer “Coaster King” Kölsch again and we just got our hands on a single keg and a couple of cases of it! We first brewed this beer back in 2021, when Maplewood so kindly invited us to dabble in the crossover, pseudo lager style that is kölsch. It is a beer style that originates from the beautiful city of Köln (Cologne), Germany. Technically, the beer is fermented with an ale yeast but one that is cold tolerant allowing for cooler fermentation than many ale strains. The results are similar characteristics to a traditional lager: malt forward, hop balance, and a crisp finish. We will tap this beer today at 3pm when we open. This beer was also recently featured in @binnysbev Beer Buzz, an in depth resource for beer enthusiasts published by one of the most knowledgeable people we’ve had the pleasure of knowing. #seeyoulager ...
