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.

From tap at Borefts ’15. Aroma of lots of herbs and vegetables, floral notes, some malt, spicy yeast. Flavour is light sweet with a light bitter finish. Body is medium. Interesting beer and an inventive way to put Amstel to good use, but it’s just too vegetabley for me to enjoy it.

On tap. Il gusto al naso propende per lo speziato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata, permanendo in maniera sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è discreto e c'è anche una componente leggermente acidula. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è intenso. Il tetto della bocca riconosce impressioni di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso, agrumi, limone, citronella e vaniglia.

Bottle at home. Aroma is floral, very herbal, mustard seed, dill, yeast, light malt, citrus, hint of grassy hops. Flavour is light sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium. I have a general dislike of mustard, but I found this beer very drinkable. Interesting aroma, well made adventurous beer.
