Goldfinger Brewing Company A revived 19th century brewery specializing in lager beer. A true Lager house. DRINK MORE LAGER. The Goldfinger family knows beer! At their St. Na Zdrowie!
(1)

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. 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.

This week we are delivering our Dunkel L***r across Chicagoland. We’re so encouraged to see a lot of enthusiasm for this b**r, so make sure you support your local retailers by picking up a couple four packs of this limited fall seasonal.

As for us in the taproom, we’ve got it on draft but cans are dwindling fast. Our staff is enjoying this one quite a bit right now.

From the beginning, we have been focused on our core l***rs. We dedicate more time and tank space to Original, Pils, Vienna, and Chela Clara than any of our other b**rs. Brewing these weekly gives us a unique opportunity to learn batch-to-batch, and execute small refinements at a much more rapid pace. Our commitment goes beyond just making the best b**r we can, but doing it every single time.

The decision to narrow our scope has come with its criticisms and a fair deal of skepticism. Rightfully so; in a world where newness is more appealing than what has been tried, it seems like a risky proposition. However, we believe those two approaches to b**r consumption aren’t mutually exclusive. You can continue to be curious and seek out new b**rs. That’s exciting! But you can also find the dependable b**rs that you turn to when you don’t want to take the risk of buying something you don’t like. We strive to be that brewery for you. We work hard everyday to keep ourselves in the conversation when all you want is a delicious, intentional l***r made without cutting corners.

Remember two things: Drink Goldfinger and DRINK MORE L***R!

Oh mysterious Dunkel, how we love you. In America, you are largely forgotten. But to be forgotten, suggests you once were. Save a small group of informed individuals, we’re not certain you ever were. But damnit if we aren’t committed to helping grow awareness of this too often overlooked style.

To put it bluntly, what are you people doing sleeping on this l***r??
All kidding aside, this b**r deserves more fandom than it has. It is the perfect confluence of an approachable and refreshing German l***r, with a gentle kiss of more complex malt flavor. Hints of chocolate, biscuit, and complementary hop-derived herbal flavor make this a hard l***r to top around this time of year. Its dark appearance may deter, but do not judge a book by its cover. It is neither heavy, nor too strong, nor too roasty. It is the antithesis of “too much” of anything, rather the epitome of just the right amount of everything you’d want in a dark l***r.

Come enjoy this l***r in all of its double decocted, horizontally l***red, naturally carbonated glory starting today in our taproom. Distro of this b**r begins next week.

We’re canning some fresh Pils today. You can enjoy it in the taproom during regular hours or seek it out at your favorite local retailer. Don’t see it there? Send them our way and we’ll be happy to add them to our distro route.

Huge thank you to for hosting our brewer Jeremy and inviting us for the second year in a row to pour Goldfinger l***rs in Washington, D.C. Thanks to , our distributor in DC/Virginia who placed our l***rs all around town for thirsty customers to enjoy. Thanks to all the retailers and draft accounts that picked up our b**r and the folks who sought it out!

We don’t often get to send b**r into other markets because Illinois is quite thirsty for l***rs (hell yeah!), but we make it a point to siphon some off for this amazing festival. One of the best in the country, and we’d highly encourage anybody to plan a trip for next year!

Long live l***r! Long live craft b**r!

We’ve got just the right stuff to make your weekend a memorable one! We’ll gladly welcome you to the taproom for some fresh pours too.

Festbier is on the rise. Perhaps the Germans were onto something when they reimagined the l***r style of the largest party: Oktoberfest. The numbers are in, and across 16 days, 6.7 million liters of b**r was consumed at the Munich Oktoberfest. Thats roughly 116,000 American kegs. The vast majority of that was Festbier, not Märzen.

Don’t get us wrong, we love Märzen (as if tying up our tanks all summer long for it didn’t prove that), but there is something to be said about Festbier’s drinkability. Goldfinger produces more Original L***r (helles) than any other Goldfinger b**r, so it stands to reason that a slightly maltier and higher alcohol pale l***r would go over extremely well too. Our Festbier delivers flavors reminiscent of Märzens, but in the context of a helles/dortmunder adjacent l***r with a slight pop of Callista hops. Come enjoy it this weekend and buy some to go to share with your friends.

Seasonal can update:
We are down to our last few four packs of Oktoberfest Märzen. We have plenty of Festbier on draft and in cans to go since we didn’t distribute it, so make plans to come visit! We have a couple of kegs of Honey Kellerbier and some cases left.
