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.

Bottle at home. Aroma is dark malt, lactose, roast, fruity hops, chocolate, some pine and a touch of mocha coffee. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and moderate bitter. Body is above medium with some lactose cream. Black Milk IPA or Sweet India Stout? Either way, this is pretty damn good.

Bottle from Lekkerbier, Sint Nicolaasga. Aroma is spicy yeast, fruits, citrus, juniper berries, orange, herbal notes, mild floral, bready malt, lemongrass, touch of gin. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Body is medium. Surprisingly pleasant, thanks to the generous amount of orange and fairly balanced use of herbs, luckily I do not get a lot of ginger. Pretty good.
