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.

Look: hazy amber (with yeast sediment) with small white frothy head.
Aroma: strong herbal notes, spicy yeast, lemony, just a drop of sweetness.
Taste: dry, very herbal, light/astringency/tannins, yeast spice, light bitterness.



Nice and spicy, but a bit over the top with spices.

33 cl bottle @ home. Black color. Big beige head with thin layer retention and some lacing. Aroma’s: dark roasted malts, ground coffee, hints of red fruit, slight sweetnes retronasal. Flavor is roasted, lightly sweet, a bit of ash. Body is on the thin side, but that makes it an easy drinker. Finishes roasted and ashy, slightly dry, with a decent bitterness. Very tasty!

Sample from draught @ the soon to become Amsterdam’s latest new brewpub. Thanks for showing me guys, best of luck! A bit hazy yellow - golden color, small to medium sized white head. Smell and taste malts, hops, decently bitter, some yeast. Enjoyable beer, but there’s still some work to be done here. Pretty sure that work will be done so I’d be surprised if the next time I try this beer it is not top notch.
