The history of...Brouwerij Oedipus

Oedipus Brewing is inspired by the relationship between colour and taste, which they translate into colourful designs. The distinctive beer names and unusual ingredients make Oedipus an interesting addition to the beer scene.

I woke up in a colourful dream. In this dream I could taste colours.

Flavourful and unique beer to be enjoyed by all

Oedipus was founded by four friends with a simple yet challenging goal: to make flavourful and unique beer to be enjoyed by all. In 2010, they took the first step by brewing beer in a small apartment in the centre of Amsterdam. In the two years that followed, they gained extensive knowledge and started to produce more beer than they could drink. It was time to share their creations with the world, so they launched their company, Oedipus Brewing.

Taproom, events and stars

In addition to creating unique beer to be enjoyed by all, Oedipus enjoys bringing people together. That’s why they organise cultural events, concerts and parties at their taproom in Amsterdam North. This taproom is always worth a visit, if only to try Oedipus’ extraordinary beers.

Michelin star beer

Oedipus is now a serious player in the beer community. They achieved this through the creation of a unique style and by combining their passion for quality beer with other interests such as art and good food. The fact that a Michelin 3-star restaurant, De Librije, has added Oedipus Thai Thai to its beer menu speaks to the quality of their beers. Thai Thai is a Tripel which was awarded the gold medal at the Dutch Beer Challenge 2017 .
