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.

37.5cl Fles van Sterk. Troebel gouden kleur, witte kraag. Funk, Brett, hout, redelijk zuur, licht acetisch, citroen, meer hout, redelijk droog, zure finish, appels. Net als in #35 komt ook hier het rode wijn-vat niet echt naar voren, althans niet in de zin dat je rode wijn proeft. Degelijke sour.

Draft @StrandZuid, Amsterdam. Somewhat unclear straw yellow colour, small fizzy white head, mostly diminishing, light lacing. Aroma sweet malt, wheat, lemon, spicy notes. Taste light sweet and bitter, very light citric acidity, grainy, lemony, spicy notes. Light body, watery texture, soft carbonation, light dry aftertaste, refreshing, light-weight wit, decent.

Very drinkable. Mild funk, balanced with mild spices. It’s a very well made beer. Some. Noticeable sweetness too. An “easy” saison. Bierkonig Amsterdam 3.6 3.6 july 2021 Tried again gollem raamsteeg. Very good saison. Upgraded

Pours a hazy yellow golden colour and a firm white head with good retention. Aroma's: elderflower for sure, some lactic sourness, a bit sweet too. Retronasal it's light sour, fruity, floral. Flavour is light moderate sour with light bitterness. Light bodied. Finishes slightly bitter. Nice and refreshing.

37.5cl Fles van Drankgigant. Donkerbruine tot zwarte kleur, vrijwel geen kraag. Aroma van caramel, funk, Brettanomyces, licht zuurtje, chocolade. Smaak is heel licht zuur, iets funky, caramel, chocolade en koffie, bruinmout, hint van zure kersen. Lichte body, volle smaak. Lekker.

Super bright, clear, and clean. Very well done cherry addition. Sourness is spot on, balance is great. Very lively in the mouth. Oedipus Amsterdam

Drank at the brewery in Amsterdam. Bu far their worst beer. It’s not even a stout, dark amber color, a bit astringent, not much roast.

This beer is just done right. Very nice twist on a tripel. Not really spicy at all, but the phenols are spot on. Not super belgian yeast driven flavour, complemented nicely by whatever they add. Oedipus Amsterdam
