In Amsterdam Noord, Oedipus Brewing is the city's most playful craft brewery — colourful, irreverent and known for experimental, boundary-pushing beers. In 2024 it moved to a larger home on the Schaafstraat, giving it more room for its taproom and events.
The beers range from easy-drinking to wild and adventurous, and the whole brand has a fun, festival energy that sets it apart from more traditional breweries.
What to expect
Expect a relaxed, sociable taproom with a rotating line-up of house beers, regular events, DJs and food, and an outdoor area that comes alive in summer. The crowd is young, creative and up for a good time — it feels more like a party than a pub.
Good to know
It's in Noord — a free ferry across the IJ from Centraal plus a short ride or walk — so factor in the trip. Check the events calendar, as taproom hours and special nights vary, and the summer outdoor scene is the highlight.
