Description
We are Oedipus Brewing. Founded by four friends in Amsterdam, we’re always ready to go where our taste buds take us. Oedipus is about fun, energy and doing things differently. We create fantastical beers to reveal to the world that beer is a magical beverage: tasty, exciting and for everyone. Welcome to our universe πŸ––πŸ½

Since mid 2019 has Heineken a minority interest in the brewery. On June 21, 2023, it was announced that Heineken had acquired all shares of the brewery and thus became full owner of the brewery. The takeover coincides with the move of Oedipus.

The brewery and taproom at Gedempt Hamerkanaal 85 were closed on April 14, 2024. The brewery and taproom were moved to Schaafstraat 19, 300 meters further, where the Oedipus Craft Space will open in the early summer of 2024.

33 cl bottle @ home. Amber color, slightly hazy. Huge off white head that keeps growing. Good lacing. Smells a bit dusty, herbal, fruity. Retronasal it’s herbs/spices, fruit, light caramel malts, light bitterness. Flavor is moderate bitter, herbs/spices, light sweetness. Light bodied. Quite high carbonation (at first). Finish is herbal/spicy, light bitter. Not entirely balanced and convincing, but decent enough.
