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.

33cl Bottle from Sterk Avondverkoop. Hazy pale golden colour, white head. Aroma of light-bready malts, cucumber, hint of citrus, yeast, hay, light grassy. Flavour is light to medium sweet, malty, cucumber, light spicy, almost peppery note, light yeasty, nice bitter finish. Light-bodied. Went really well with the spicy food I ate, but itโs a good beer on its own.

Bottle on the train home during the Isle of Wight Jolly. Pours black-brown with a rich, tan froth. The nose has lots of roast, burnt wood and dry chocolate. Light to medium sweet flavor with notes of ash, earth, chocolate and burnt meat. Medium bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Nice and roasty on the finish with dry, chalky cocoa. Good balance and depth. Solid.

Malty, fruity taste with notes of bread, tropical fruit, coriander, lemon grass and a gentle spicy bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Fresh, tasty and a bit spicy. Quite nice.
