**All our beers are naturally carbonated using the carbon dioxide produced by our yeast during fermentation for a smoother drinking experience
Original Lager
Our flagship beer is the epitome of a lager. It is the beer you can enjoy everyday no matter the occasion. Whether you’re celebrating a victory of your favorite sports team, or throwing back a couple with friends or coworkers, this beer is unobtrusive. It is the cold, crisp, light, yet flavorful accompaniment to life. Just enough malt and noble hop flavor to subconsciously remind you how enjoyable it is after every sip, while not distracting you from making unforgettable memories. This is the style our Goldfinger ancestors would have brewed and certainly would have enjoyed.
Pils
Our Pils is a beautiful representation of German pilsner malt and noble hops. This beer is for the drinker who prefers a little more hop presence with a subtle bite that dissipates smoothly into a depth of floral, herbal, and honey flavor. We pour this beer slowly (be patient, it’s worth it!) over the course of approximately five minutes to allow all of the aromas and flavors to meld into your glass and deliver it to you with a soft pillowy head. The inspiration for this beer comes from Brewer Tom’s unforgettable experience drinking his favorite Pilsner in the German Alps.
Vienna
One of our favorite lager styles of beer to brew for its malt complexity, yet infinite drinkability. Due to the double decoction method of brewing, we achieved a unique depth of malt flavor that is balanced by Czech Saaz hops. This beer is copper in color with a medium body for a slightly more robust drinking experience.
Chela Clara
Inspired by sandy beaches and relaxed vibes, this is a light bodied, refreshing, and easy drinking Mexican-style lager brewed with malted barley and a touch of corn that provides for a subtle tortilla flavor on the finish.
Seasonal Beers
“Krakow”
(collab w/ Schilling Beer Co.)
Polish Lager – 18 IBU– 5.2% abv – Step Mash
An homage to our ancestor Marcus Goldfinger who ran a brewery in Krakow in the late 19th century. This unfiltered lager uses Moravian barley, the type the Goldfinger’s would have used, for a pleasant grainy malt character. It is balanced by a trio of our favorite classic Polish hops: Lubelski, Marynka, and Tomyski which provide herbal and floral complements.
“Piece de Resistance”
(collab w/ Piece Brewery)
French Pils – 32 IBU – 4.9% abv – Step Mash
A pleasant balance of baguette-like breadiness from the French origin malt sourced from Sugar Creek Malt co, and orange marmalade hop character from French Strisselspalt and Barbe Rouge hops. Naturally carbonated for a silky smooth mouthfeel, this clean and dry Pils is an extremely versatile food pairing beer that would elevate cheese and help cut through fatty meats.
“Smoke Two Lagers”
Smoked Helles – 18 IBU– 5.0% abv – Single Decoction
This is your gateway to smoked beers. It presents like a classic helles first: bready, rich malt flabor with the appropriate dryness to encourage another sip. In the aroma and on the finish is subtle smoke derived from a pinch of beechwood smoked male and the contribution of our oak smoke laden yeast pitch that we harvested from our Grodziskie. The result is a subtle, yet layered smoke character.
