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.

Draught @ De La Gare. Clear amber color, full sized off-white head that lasts for a decent while. Smell and taste malts, smoke, a bit sweeter than I had expected. Decent body and carbonation. Not really my thing but a decent beer for sure.

Bottle. Nice golden color with Some Orange hue and short lasting fizzy white head. Nice fruits at first with passion fruit and tangerine. Spicy yeast but quite light, with light vanilla and wine gums. Crisp and fresh with slight prickly carbonation. Nice light beer with good complexity and balance, very nice.

Keg at the Earl of Essex - London. Pours hazy yellow-gold with a thick, creamy white head. Prominent saison yeast in the aroma, with secondary notes of dough and candied lemon peel. Light to medium sweet flavor with a bit of lemon rind, citrus pith, yeast, simple doughy white bread, hayz. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Basic sugary dough and cereal to end, with mild bitter hay, some lemon peel, hay. Pretty simplistic but drinkable enough.
