Description
We are Oedipus Brewing. Founded by four friends in Amsterdam, weโ€™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 ๐Ÿ––๐Ÿฝ

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.

Ruikt lekker stoffig en zuur. Smaak is vreemd genoeg mooie combinatie tussen zoet en zuur. Niet te scherp. Lekker!

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and caramel. Pours almost black color with large soapy light brown head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with light to medium sweet roasted malt and caramel, follows by dark chocolate, licorice, cereals and herbs, mouthfeel is dry, while finish is moderate bitter. Medium to full body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Pantyless party...

Bottle from Beerwulf. Pours a dark brown colour with a reddish hue and a large thick creamy beige head. Nice lacing. Aromas of chocolate, caramel, nuts and hints of roasted malts and brown bread. Taste is again the same notes as the aroma. Medium bodied with a very smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. One of the better Dutch bocks i have tried.
