This week’s show features some friends who started making beer at home before opening a brewery in Amsterdam Noord. No, it’s not Oedipus but Walhalla, our comrades around the corner in the Hamerkwartier. Aart and Paul came by to talk origin stories, mythology and beer (of course).

Chateau Amsterdam is the first city winery in the Netherlands. It's also just down the road from our brewery. Last year they gave us some Macabeu grapes left over from their wine pressing with which we made Studio Oedipus No.22. The least we could in return was invite Chateau founder Remy Harrewijn to pop over and educate us on the world of wine.

Our fellow Amsterdam brewers forged their own path by following their instincts, not formulas or fashion, to create beers that can range from medieval mead to raw Swedish farmhouse ales. Jan and Aerkan join Danny and our beer sommelier Bas to debate the benefits of old school vs new school brewing and how to position yourself in the modern beer world.

They also lead us in our first ever bread tasting (spoiler alert - it's ...
