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.

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.

0.33 l bottle from 'De Bierkoning', bottled in January 2019. Clear, deep ruby with a medium large, frothy, stable, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, gently fruity aroma of raisins, prunes, caramel and candy sugar. Rather sweet, malty, moderately bitter and gently fruity taste of caramel, raisins, prunes, brown sugar and traces of nuts, followed by a short, moderately bitter, a little boozy and warming finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very pleasant Doppelbock, extremely well-balanced and true to the style.

0.33 l bottle from 'Dranken Melgers', bottled in April 2019. Clear, golden with a medium large, foamy, stable, white head. Slightly sweetish, rather fruity-floral and just a bit grassy aroma of lemon peel, lychee and a touch of grass. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, gently fruity-floral and a little grassy taste of grains, grass, some lemon and hints of lychee, followed by a short, gently bitter, slightly grassy, moderately dry finish. Thin to medium body, fairly effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Solid Lager but not on par with Oedipus' other recent Lager offerings. They can do better, but maybe the bottle is too old already with five months on it.
