Oedipus Brewing is a Dutch craft brewery founded in Amsterdam in 2012 by four friends — Alex Mager, Paul Brouwer, Rick Nelson, and Sander Nederveen. The brewery is known for colourful label design and hop-forward and experimental beers such as Mannenliefde, Thai Thai, and Gaia. Heineken took a minority stake in 2019 and acquired the remaining shares in June 2023, making Oedipus a wholly owned Heineken subsidiary while allowing it to retain its brand identity.

Their signature has to hold across very different styles — which makes the notes that do recur more telling, not less.

How they compare
Each beer measured against others of its own style, then averaged across the range. Compared with the wider catalogue across breweries making similar styles.

Across 14 beers in 7 style families, none of Oedipus Brewing's characters carry through the whole range — the mix of styles they brew is the signature here.
