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.

Serves more as a cider, with some B.C.'H'. Clear metallic golden beverage. Sweet tea with honey. I'm really getting some apple/cider too. Quite aromatic. Again apples, but also more than a hint of "aged" flavour - not really oxydized, but aged. It's alos like rather sweet cider, not sparkling. THe cognac barrel aging is plausible, giving indeed a faraway cognac flavour backthroat, however... Berliner Weisse? This? In the aftertaste, the "aged" flavour gets a marked dry sherry character. Flat as a pancake, slick. Almost velvety MF. Quite interesting beer. I have to mention that were I given this blind, I would have guessed cider. Txs to Stef!
