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.

Can at home, courtesy of markoijelena, thanks dude! Pours pale, yellowish golden with a fizzy, quickly dissipating white head. Nose is citric and estery, rather faint altogether. Taste is tart citric, somewhat malty and estery, nothing’s too dominant and it’s rather lacking in intensity. Closes with an abruptly ending finish, has a light, actually kinda watery body and soft carbo. Kinda meh.
