Goldfinger Brewing Co., 513 Rogers St., Downers Grove, IL (630) 541-9728 Map
One of the perks of being a brewer is the ability to taste the beer throughout its maturation process. Flavors meld, some aromas disappear while others appear, and yeast is still in suspension adding bread like qualities.
What does the Original taste like when it has been lagering for only a couple of weeks? Hazy Pils? Yes please!
Beginning next month, every FIRST Tuesday of the month we will share the pleasure of tasting young “kellerbier” versions of whatever we have in our lagering tanks with you! Our brewers will fill a small cask of whatever young version of a beer is tasting particularly delicious and tap the cask right in front of your eyes. Tappings will happen at 5:30pm and we’ll serve you straight from the spigot until the cask is done.
The first First Tuesday Cask Tapping from the Cellar will be March 1st at 5:30pm. Stay tuned for what Keller version of our beer you’ll get to enjoy.
