Oersoep is a Dutch craft brewery founded in 2012 and based in Nijmegen, in the Netherlands. The brewery grew out of a collective of home brewers who shared a passion for flavourful, characterful beer. Starting small, Oersoep developed into a respected microbrewery with a clear identity rooted in creativity and a back-to-basics brewing philosophy. The name itself — meaning 'primordial soup' — hints at that raw, experimental spirit. Oersoep has built an impressive portfolio of over a hundred different beers, spanning a wide range of styles. Their lineup includes core beers and seasonal releases, with highlights such as Hopfather, Sergeant Pepper, and Big Bob. The brewery is known for its love of hop-forward styles, including IPAs, as well as saisons and other craft-oriented beers that reflect both innovation and a hands-on approach to brewing. Collaboration brews, including a White IPA with Brouwerij Walhalla, further demonstrate their engagement with the broader Dutch craft beer community. Oersoep's reputation has grown well beyond Nijmegen. The brewery attracted the attention of Swinkels Family Brewers, which took on exclusive distribution of Oersoep's core and seasonal beers — a significant milestone for a craft brewery of their size. The partnership reflects the wider recognition Oersoep has earned within the Dutch and international beer scene.
