Goldfinger Brewing Company: A Lager beer brewery and taproom located in Downers Grove, Illinois.

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.

From the beginning, we have been focused on our core lagers. We dedicate more time and tank space to Original, Pils, Vienna, and Chela Clara than any of our other beers. Brewing these weekly gives us a unique opportunity to learn batch-to-batch, and execute small refinements at a much more rapid pace. Our commitment goes beyond just making the best beer we can, but doing it every single time. The decision to narrow our scope has come with its criticisms and a fair deal of skepticism. Rightfully so; in a world where newness is more appealing than what has been tried, it seems like a risky proposition. However, we believe those two approaches to beer consumption aren’t mutually exclusive. You can continue to be curious and seek out new beers. That’s exciting! But you can also find the dependable beers that you turn to when you don’t want to take the risk of buying something you don’t like. We strive to be that brewery for you. We work hard everyday to keep ourselves in the conversation when all you want is a delicious, intentional lager made without cutting corners. Remember two things: Drink Goldfinger and DRINK MORE LAGER! ... See MoreSee Less
