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.

Clear golden. Aroma is light belgian yeast spices, some coriander, untoasted toast malt. Taste is full bodied floral yeast spices with some bitter touch. No trace of the chili. Also nothing that doesn't say normal triple... Quite disappointing.

(Draught at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 15 Feb 2023) Hazy yellow colour with brief, white head. Fruity, sourish nose with citrus, peaches, hay, grapes and white wine. Fruity, slightly tart taste with notes of peaches, orange, yeast, wood, white wine and a gentle citric bitterness in the finish. Vinous, tart and yeasty. Interesting. Nice one. And the name of the beer is actually Gloria.
