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.

0.375 l bottle from 'Het Biermoment', bottled in August 2019. Slightly hazy, pale yellow with a medium large, foamy, almost stable, white head. Slightly sweetish, gently funky, quite fruity-floral aroma of horse blanket, white pepper, wood, lemon peel and gooseberry. Rather dry, gently sour, quite funky and fruity taste of lemon peel, wood, gooseberry, wood and horse blanket, followed by a medium long, quite tart, woody-dry and gently funky finish. Thin to medium body, gently astringent, spritzy and quite effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Highly refreshing, spritzy and quite complex beer. Another winner within the Studio series!

Wel lekker. Zoetig, moutig, een beetje chocolade ook wel. Wat je verwacht en dan met een kleine positieve verrassing.

0.75 l bottle from 'Sterk Avondverkoop', bottled in January 2019. Hazy, deep amber with a medium large, foamy, almost stable, white head. Slightly sweetish, sourish, rather fruity, minimally yeasty and a little vinous aroma of raspberry, redcurrant, grapes and traces of clove. Quite sour, fairly fruity, gently vinous taste of raspberry, redcurrant, lemon, grapes, light vinegar and some wood, followed by a medium long, fairly tart, gently woody-dry and slightly vinous finish. Medium body, rather astringent and quite effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Super refreshing beer, nicely fresh and fruity, just a tad too sour for my liking.

Pours a golden colour and a white head. Aroma: firm brett funk/horse blanket/manure, light sourness. Retronasal it's sourish, lemon (myrtle), light bretty. Flavour is light moderate sour, lemonny. Light medium bodied. Nice enough (despite the brett).

Frothy off white head stayed on brown still body - quite light in colour for a stout. Coffee & malt aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a sharp back & clean aft. Coffee, sweet berries, jam, malt, roasted & cigarette tastes with hoppy, bitter tangy finish. Good one.
