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.

Goldfinger Brewing Company

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

As daylight becomes more scarce and we usher in the cooler months, we embrace the little things that give us inner warmth. From the golden hue of our taproom lights contrasted with black skies, to the smell of a cord of firewood for our upcoming steinbier brew, the signs are present and we are ready. Though our Biergarten, a source of such lasting memories and some of the best times we had with you this year, nears its seasonal closing (11.15), we relish the comforting feeling of good people filling our taproom to enjoy lagers and company. On the other side of the glass, our production team takes full advantage of the cooler air to relieve their perspiring brows as the aromas emitting from the brew transform into chocolate, brownie, and roast. Eternal summer doesn’t reside in our Midwestern climate; we are the land of four seasons. However, for us Chicagoans, one indisputable fact transcends all changes in weather: we drink beer. #drinkmorelager ... See MoreSee Less

In the brewery the last several of weeks, the good smells have been unmatched. Between our double decocted Złotonator Doppelbock and now our Black Lager (Schwarzbier), the brewhouse has been overtaken by aromas of malt, freshly baked bread, and chocolate. This also signals the first brews of our annual Dark Lager Day which will be February 13th, 2027.Dark Lager Day is one of our favorite days of the year because it celebrates a realm of lagers too often overlooked.
