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.

A revived 19th century brewery specializing in lager beer. A true Lager house. DRINK MORE LAGER.

Contrary to popular belief, foam is beer. Our brew team adds time to every batch of beer produced specifically to enhance foam quality both visually and functionally. Sourcing reliable raw materials, activating enzymes in the mash, hopping appropriately, and spunding (natural carbonation) are among several decisions we make to ensure our foam is creamy, persistent, and efficiently drives the aromatics of the beer. You may think this picture is of a beer poured out of a @lukr.cz tap, since that does help to create a nice dense, wet foam, but you’d be wrong. This is poured right out of a zwickel from our brite tank. The Lukr only further enhances what was already a delightful drinking experience. Beer is the only alcoholic beverage in the world that gives this type of pleasant and persistent foam naturally (no egg whites added), so honor it by drinking beer in a beer clean glass with a generous amount of head. #embracefoam ...
