About
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 'Sterk Avondverkoop', bottled in February 2019. Almost clear, pale golden with a thin, slightly fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, sourish, gently fruity and slightly funky aroma of lemon, wood, barnyard, some gooseberry and a touch of hay. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, gently sour, rather fruity, vinous and a bit funky taste of lemon, gooseberry, oak and traces of hay, followed by a short, gently sour, fairly woody-dry, quite vinous finish. Thin to medium body, gently astringent and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Smells a bit weird but the taste is nicely fresh, fruity and vinous. Nice!

Lichtgeel bier met heel veel stevig schuim. Smaak is licht zuur en fruitig met iets van bessen en citrus. Ondanks ik niet van de zure bieren ben vind ik deze best te doen.
