Oedipus Swingers
Refreshing and fruity, Swingers is proud to be the first ‘Dutch Gose’ on the market. We add grapefruit and lime peels along with Citra hops to give this beer a quirky character.
We once wanted to brew the ultimate summer beer: reminiscent of sun, the beach and the fresh saltiness of the North Sea.
What came to mind was a ‘Gose’, a once popular beer that has fallen into obscurity. Originating from a German town called Goslar – hence the name – it became popular in Leipzig at the end of the 19th century. The water from this area was used in brewing and was known for being slightly salty. Brewing a ‘Gose’ was always on our bucket list given its funky character. This brew is refreshing, funky and has a quirky character.
Swingers is proud to be the first ‘Dutch Gose’ on the market. It has a distinctive style… not only salty, but with sour hints too. While it’s low in alcohol (4% ABV), it’s full of flavor. It is extremely fresh and fruity given the grapefruit peel, lime peel and the Citra hops we add.

Tap in the taproom. My knowledge about sours equals zero, but I sorta liked this one, it was refreshingly tart and fruity, with a definite but not overwhelming salty finish.

On tap at Lajbah, Ljubljana. Pours hazy and pale golden colour, topped with a smaller and nonlasting white head. Pretty strong and very pleasant tropical aroma - pineapple, some citruses in charge. Slightly soury, just so it is felt and soem fruity sweetness to go along it. Gentle bitterness, slightly herbal. Shorter aftertaste and lighter body. Very likeable.
