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.

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

Earlier this year, we had a surprise visit from Bart of @pinta.craft.beer , Poland’s most decorated and largest craft brewery. It was the beginning of a friendship that resulted in a collaborative brew we are excited to debut on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. We are keeping our tradition of releasing a Baltic Porter on this day, but this will be the first time collaborating with a Polish brewery (and one internationally recognized as a top producer of Baltic Porters). Given our brewery’s Polish roots, this beer holds a special place in our hearts. “The Long Return” is a Polish-style Baltic Porter that combines big chocolate flavor, roast, dark sugar, caramel, and dark fruity esters. Fermented with lager yeast, conditioned horizontally, and naturally carbonated. At a robust 9.1% abv, this will be the perfect winter accompaniment. Stay tuned for more details on the beer! ...

Bringing our brite tanks online this year has helped with our visual consistency and shelf life. Previously, we relied on a combination of long lagering and in many cases the addition of finings to help in achieving clarity in our beers. This process led to inconsistencies in clarity sometimes even within the same batch in packaging; a source of frustration for the brew crew. With brite tanks (temporary finished beer holding tanks), it allowed us to implement filtration into our process. This extra tool gives us more control, leads to a visually polished beer, and allows for a cleaner expression of malt and hops without the elements that would make the beer harsh or muddy. The bonus is that our beer’s flavor endures for longer in the can than before; not that you needed that extra time to drink them anyway. 😊 ... See MoreSee Less
