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.

Pale blond and hazy with soapy head. It's a really plain and weak Saison with little character.

330ml bottle. Jet black colour with average, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, beige to tan head. Roasty, chocolately dark malty and yeasty fruity aroma, notes of dark chocolate, cherry, red berries, plum, some dried fruit, raisin, plum, banana, a touch of liquorice, minimally metallic overtones. Taste is dry roasty, slightly chocolately dark malty, minimally metallic, notes of dark chocolate, yeasty fruity hints of dried fruit, raisin, some plum, fig, date. Viscous texture with watery partition, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, soft to flat carbonation. Cannot get a real reference to the name: is Kinderyoga a more simple, weak kind of yoga? Where is the adult yoga Stout? What should I expect from an Adultyoga or Parental yoga Stout if the Kinderyoga is already an Impy Stout at 11%? Well, Kinderyoga is not as preposterous as the real physical practice it refers to, and probably I don't get the spiritual and esoteric aspects involved here, but I'd describe it as rather simple Impy Stout lacking any sign of energy to augment my personal realm of possibie flavour experience. Maybe I have to engage in some serious soul-searching to fully understand how the relevant chakras may be addressed in this case. Mediocre.

Blend of different sours by Oedipus, created at and for Carnivale Brettanomyces 2017; from an unlabelled 75 cl bottle shared by Leopold of Brouwerij ‘t Verzet, cheers man! Medium thick, snow white, mousy, lightly lacing, opening head on a hazy, deep pure yellow-golden robe with pale greenish tinge. Aroma of sour apples, lemon zest, sour yoghurt, clear ‘oaky vanilla’, green banana peel, bee wax, whitecurrant, old potato chips, green pear, grass, unripe plum. Crisp, fruity onset, nicely sour with an astringent edge, teeming with green apple, grape skin, sour berries and unripe stonefruit with a whiff of sweet pineapple, medium carbonated; supple body, white-bready core dried by the overall lactic and very fruity sourness but also by an increasing tannic effect, ending very woody and dry, with that fruity acidity still bringing a relieving, quenching, refreshing effect. More than just a random hodgepodge of leftovers, this is actually a very cleverly blended sour, combining depth and woody nobility with ‘youthful’ crispness and playful tartness in spite of being three years old at this point (and thus dating from before Heineken took a share in this brewery). Interesting one.

Smaakt duidelijk naar Artis. Ook wel iets Bokito-achtigs. Gewoon een prima bier, maar niks speciaals.
