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 🖖🏽

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.

Draught @ Van Moll Brewpub. Hazy yellow color, medium sized white head that lasts for a decent while. Don’t get a lot of aroma, perhaps because the pub is filled to the max or maybe Lizzy was right and it smells like make up... (whaaat : ¿?). Anyway. Taste is hard to describe as well.. Some malts maybe, slightly grains, slightly hops. Don’t know really. Decent body, firm carbonation. Not bad but I’m not thrilled either.

Keg at the Beer Temple, Amsterdam, 25/09/14. Lightly hazed golden yellow with a moderate off white swirl. Nose is candied fruits, light hop presence, grassy notes, vanilla pod. Taste comprises caramel, vanila, mellow citric rinds. Medium bodied, a little on the thin side, semi drying close. Ok drinkable number but on the bland side.

On tap @ In De Wildeman. Pale blonde color, slightly hazy. White head, short retention. Aroma’s of grain/malt, some fruit, light perfume. Cucumber noticeable retronasal, but if I didn’t know it I probably wouldn’t have guessed it was cucumber. Flavor is light grainy/ malty sweet with a light bitterness. Light bodied. Finishes with a nice light bitterness. Clean and refreshing.

Sampled draft @ BAF 2014. Thank you! Clear, light yellow, creamy white peel. Nose is heavy bitter cucumber peel; Taste is cucumber peel more than the inside, light hop, lightly bitter, light malt. Clean & very easy to drink. There is no way that I could drink a lot of this but I am liking it :)

Sampled draft @ BAF 2014. Thank you! Light hazy golden, big creamy head. Lots of esters, bitter grass in the nose, bitter spices that I cannot identify. Taste is herbal, esters, grass, hay, same strange bitter spices in the back, bitter peel, not getting chili, malty. Creamy body. Good for the style but I am not really excited here & bit bland & the spices do not really work optimally I feel.
