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.

We were thrilled to welcome our friends from @schillingbeerco all the way from New Hampshire to brew a collaboration lager with us this week. We’ve long admired Schilling for the incredible flavor, precision, and consistency of their lagers, so getting to collaborate again is truly special.Last year, we had the honor of traveling to New Hampshire to brew “Wilhelm” together, part of a series paying homage to our shared European brewing roots. So it feels especially fitting that this time around we’re brewing a beer that honors Marcus Goldfinger himself: a Kraków-style Polish lager inspired by the beers the Goldfinger family brewed in the 19th century.This beer is brewed with Moravian barley and a blend of three Polish hops, then single decocted to develop a smooth, layered, and complex malt character balanced by expressive regional hop flavor. A traditional lager brewed with deep respect for history, process, and place.We can’t wait to share this one with you at our 6th Lagerversary celebration on Saturday, July 18th. ... See MoreSee Less

A fresh batch of Chela Clara is on on Stichfaß today to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, and the brew team is whipping up another batch in the brewhouse.Every first Tuesday of the month, we host a gathering of beer enthusiasts to enjoy a special German gravity keg of a young version of a beer the brew team pulls straight from the lagering tank. This is a unique opportunity for you to gain a deeper understanding of the magic that happens in the lagering tank over time. In the spirit of this monthly ritual, we will not only be tapping a gravity keg of a young batch of “Summer Beer,” but we’ll also have Chela Clara on gravity keg! Summer beer tapping is at 5:30.One of our favorites: @tamalespaceship will be here from 5-8pm. ... See MoreSee Less
