Since mid 2019 has Heineken a minority interest in the brewery. On June 21, 2023, it was announced that Heineken had acquired all shares of the brewery and thus became full owner of the brewery. The takeover coincides with the move of Oedipus.
The brewery and taproom at Gedempt Hamerkanaal 85 were closed on April 14, 2024. The brewery and taproom were moved to Schaafstraat 19, 300 meters further, where the Oedipus Craft Space will open in the early summer of 2024.

Bottle from Lekkerbier, Sint Nicolaasga. Aroma is spicy yeast, fruits, citrus, juniper berries, orange, herbal notes, mild floral, bready malt, lemongrass, touch of gin. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Body is medium. Surprisingly pleasant, thanks to the generous amount of orange and fairly balanced use of herbs, luckily I do not get a lot of ginger. Pretty good.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Murky appearance. Aroma is rather hoppy with juicy tropical fruits, citrus, orange, mango, and fruit peel. Flavour is light sweet with a long bitter finish. Body is medium. Belgian, really? Quite a substantial Cloudwater influence with its concentrated juicy aroma. Tasty.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is soft citrus, adjuncts, particularly corn, with soapy notes. Flavour is moderate sweet and lightly bitter. Body is light to medium. Bland one with unsavory adjuncts, sweetish flavour, yet some decent citrussy notes. Finishes flat. Disappointing from the two breweries involved.
