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.

Tap @ Kafe Belgie, medium sample. Hazy yellow color, short white head. Aroma of some grainy oat, bit citrussy, slight grassy. A bit like a belgian white. Quite dry in flavor, a bit bitter, not much sweetness. Seems slight funky as well. Bit low in body. Decent balance, refreshing. Nice beer.

Bottle @ benzai. Hazy orange colour with a full sized white to off-white head. Smells ?mosterd dille saus? mostly. Maybe I should add some ham or cheese to this beer. Tastes dille, fresh, malts, bitter, yeast. Quite a dry mouthfeel. Thin to medium body, fizzy carbo. It?s a fun idea, but it doesn?t work out very well in the taste. Cool brew though!

Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Clear orange color, huge white to off-white head. Smell and taste are a bit weird and indescribable. Canโt say Iโve ever tasted a beer that had these flavors. Sure thereโs saison influence there, but the other flavors must come from the dill and mustard seed. Impressive brewing I must admit, but itโs not really my thing.

Well, this is not for me. His Majesty the King Phra Bat Somdet Phra Paraminthra Maha Bhumibol Adulyadej Mahitalathibet Ramathibodi Chakkrinaruebodin Sayamminthrathirat Borommanatthabophit, or Rama IX, would frown upon this meagre attempt to capture the essence of Thai spices in this abomination masquerading as beer, would His Majesty be so unfortunate to encounter it. One could only hope that in this case His Majesty, in all His good wisdom and benevolence, would decide against prosecuting the brewers for lรจse majestรฉ.
Alas, a hazy orange coloured liquid, with an off-white head, from tap @ Drie Dorstige Herten. Nose is fruity, very sweet candy, bubble gum. Flavour is sweet malty, bubblegum, candy, massive laos and sereh. Finish is very sweet and sugary.

Bottle @ Cafe Derat. Hazy orange coloured, medium / large off-white head. Nose is grassy, fruity, dill, which I initially mistook for turkish delight, or maybe thatโs the hops, who knows. Light malty. Pleasant aroma. Flavour is hoppy, malty, followed by dill. Fruity, a bit yeasty. Soft mouthfeeling. Well drinkable. Finish is slightly bitter. Nice stuff.
