Goldfinger Brewing Company

Six+ years into this and it is still odd to think that the b**rs we’re brewing right now won’t be enjoyed for at least two months from now. It is part of our long l***ring process which we rely on to help round out some of the harsher compounds created during fermentation, to allow the various elements of the b**r to meld, and to help promote yeast flocculation: a process where the yeast cells bind together and settle toward the bottom of the tank resulting in clear b**r. The science of b**r is fascinating and gives us an added appreciation for the beverage we adore so much.

This weekend we have several food trucks:
Friday - Maple and Yam at 5pm
Saturday - Midwest Smoke at 2pm
Sunday - Curious Crow at 1pm

“Piece de Resistance” is our French Pils we brewed with our friends . A Pils intended to let French ingredients shine. The barley is of French origin, but grown locally by . The hops come from the Alsace region of France whose terroir gives them a unique yet familiar character. Strisselspalt and Barbe Rouge hops are the stars. At a sub 5% abv, this flavorful l***r is refreshing, aromatic, and crisp.

We will be open regular hours today and open tomorrow from 12-7pm. We’re still running out Labor Day Sunmer B**r case sale through Monday!

“Smoke Two L***rs” is a smoked helles. Smoke is a polarizing character in b**r due to its savory qualities and phenolic expression. However, smoke in beverages has long been an expectation, including in b**r. What is beautiful about this b**r is that it is approachable due to its subtle smoke. Even those who love smoke appreciate that only smoke isn’t the goal of this style. Instead, harnessing the smoke character as simply one aspect of an otherwise highly complex and drinkable l***r is the art of this unique b**r style.

Our version is tied to another b**r: Grodziskie. We harvest the smoke laden yeast from our oak smoked Grodziskie and supplement it with a small portion of beechwood smoked malt to provide a subtle yet layered experience. We have completed distribution of this b**r across Chicagoland and it is available in our taproom in cans and on draft today too.

We hope you enjoy this b**r!

We will be open on Labor Day from 12-7pm.

Tomorrow, for our First Tuesday Stichfaß Tapping from the Cellar, we try Festbier 18 days from its official tapping. While it has rounded the corner for the home stretch, there are some subtleties we will explore tomorrow that will change when we tap in at our Oktoberfest celebration on September 19th!

Not to be confused by our Oktoberfest Märzen, this b**r is lighter in color, lower in alcohol, and has a honey and baked bread character. Try it from our gravity keg and join us in welcoming Alfred of **r as our guest tapper.

New l***rs on tap today! “Smoke Two L***rs” smoked Helles and “Piece de Resistance” French pils collab w !

Smoke Two L***rs is your gateway to smoked b**rs. It presents like a classic helles first: bready rich malt flavor 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 malt 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.

“Piece de Resistance” - French Pils
A pleasant balance of baguette-like breadiness from the French origin malt we sourced from , 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 b**r that would elevate cheese, and help cut through fatty meats.
