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.

Different beer. Body is indeed dark, with a slight taste of smoke, the cacao is more present. Has some mild hopping and some less mild brett.

Body of smooth wheat, with a taste of brett, some mild hops and indeed some rhubarb, which turns out to be quite nice.

Another strange brett beer from Oedipus. Quite malty and ryish, with some fruit and of course lots of brett.

I’m not really sure wat I was drinking, but I liked it. Has notes of brett, wheat, fruits and some hops. Creative, but also a bit of a mess.

Weird stuff. Tastes like a blend of a gose and a fruity sour ale. All kinds of different ingredients battle for attention, but some get lost in the mix.

Tap @ Arendsnest, small sample. Cloudy golden color, short to no head, leaving hardly any lacing. Quite tart aroma, bit grainy, salted macademia nuts. Taste is salty and nutty again, really sour. I can handle a couple of sips and its quite ok, but couldnt finish the glass. Too much sourness and the salted nuts is such a weird combination, it doesnt invite to drink more.

Carnivale Brettanomyces festival, Amsterdam 2014. Opaque yellow color, virtually no head. Not sure what to make of the aroma and flavor, I haven’t really tasted a beer like this before. Hmm not bad but I’ve had better from Oedipus.
