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, bottled on 21/3/2014.
Orange, hazy body, with a big, frothy, white head, that dissipates quickly.
Aroma of citrus, pine, orange, tangerine, some tropical fruits, some grass.
Taste is about the same, also biscuit and honey like malts.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation and it finishes medium bitter, slightly dry, with citrus, grass and some sweet malts.
Nice! Although it isnโt fresh anymore, still with nice, fruity and piney hop notes. The malt backbone is also quite tasty. Overall a decent, easy to drink and nicely balanced IPA, even after 7 months.
