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. Interesting blend of Macabeo grapes macerated with wild yeast in Oedipus white ale Offline and their Berliner Weisse Vogelen. Color: Hazy yellowish golden, thin but dense and long lasting white head. Nice lacing. Aroma: Tart, vinuous, grapes, funky. Taste: Moderate tart and moderate sweet fighting for attention, also light to moderate bitter. Vinuous, tart white grapes, some citrus and some farmyard funk. Dry mouthfeel, fruity finish. Medium body, low carbonation. Once again a nice Studio Oedipus experiment, although I've tasted better grape ales, in my opinion.

At the source. Hazy golden colour and a white head with some retention. Aroma's are (lactic) sourish with malty grain. Retronasal it's sourish and a bit salty (?). Flavour is lightly sour, light bitter, grainy. Light bodied. Finishes slightly dry, moderate bitter. Initially I thought sour and pilsner are no match, but actually this worked quite well, since the sourness was just very light whike still retaining pilsner characteristics. Nice.

Bottle, Studio Oedipus No. 16 Flemish Red. Color: Hazy reddish brown, reddish beige head. Aroma: Tart, balsamico vinegar, caramel, red fruit. Taste: Medium tart red grapes, berries and cherry. Acid vinegar, balsamico, yogurt and subtle caramel notes. Getting a bit less acidic after a while. Medium to just under medium body, average carbonation. Bit foamy mouthfeel. Some funky notes. Wood. Dry-ish mouthfeel. Lightly sweet and light to moderate bitter. Rather thin body for a Flemish Red. Not one of the best beers in this style in my opinion, but overall ok.
