Oedipus Brewing

What Oedipus Brewing does

Oedipus Brewing (legal entity OEDIPUS BREWING BV) is an Amsterdam-based independent craft brewery founded in 2012 that produces a portfolio of Belgian-inspired and modern styles, including Mannenliefde (Saison, 6% ABV), Madeleine (Bock, 6%), Ray (Paradiso Pale Ale), Bride (Wit, 5%), and Pais Tropical (IPA, 5%), supplemented by the Bier Natuur natural-brewing line, seasonal Specials, and curated Giftpacks. The underlying operation is a physical brewery at Schaafstraat 21, 1021KD Amsterdam, paired with The Craft Space Stadium as an on-premise tasting/visit venue, and a Shopify-powered direct-to-consumer storefront carrying branded Merch & Gifts alongside the beer range.

The business runs a direct-to-consumer model: revenue is generated primarily through one-time packaged-goods sales (six-packs at €15–€18, 75cl bottles at €7, and gift packs around €37) via the company's own e-commerce site and physical Craft Space retail venues, with no disclosed wholesale, B2B, or subscription contracts. Customer targeting is horizontal, aimed at adult individual craft beer consumers in the Netherlands and other markets reachable through the online shop, which accepts a broad set of payment methods (iDEAL, Klarna, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, Union Pay, Maestro). The company is privately held with no institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity disclosed in the source data.

The company is led by co-founders Alexander Mager and Sander Nederveen, operates with 11–50 employees, and holds Dutch business registration (KVK: 62369512, VAT: NL854791073B01). Strategic emphasis is on brand-led differentiation (distinctive product naming and styling), DTC distribution control, and experiential retail through the Craft Space concept rather than on scale-driven wholesale. No AI/ML, patents, awards, or third-party partnerships are disclosed in the available data.
