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.

Can at home, courtesy of markoijelena, thanks dude! Pours pale, yellowish golden with a fizzy, quickly dissipating white head. Nose is citric and estery, rather faint altogether. Taste is tart citric, somewhat malty and estery, nothing’s too dominant and it’s rather lacking in intensity. Closes with an abruptly ending finish, has a light, actually kinda watery body and soft carbo. Kinda meh.

Bottle at work, courtesy or Gardner, past the BBD by 2 years, I think? Very interesting beer even at this age, somewhat oxidized but not too much, smoky, estery, with traces of hop presence and spicy touches. Fun, I’m glad I got to try this.

Bottle at home from Jumbo. Nose is intense ester notes, lots of banana, also some peppers and soicy touches. Taste is sweetish grains, light peppery notes, some esters, but lot less than in the aroma. Slightly dry finish with a moderately bitter touch, light bodied.
