The Company’s long history began in Medan in 1929 with the establishment of NV Nederlandsch-Indische Bierbrouwerijen. The first brewery was located in Surabaya and officially began commercial operations on 21 November 1931. In 1936, the Company relocated its domicile from Medan to Surabaya, Heineken became the major shareholder of the Company and the Company’s name was changed to N.V. Heineken's Nederlandsch-Indische Bierbrouweerijen Maatschappij. In 1951, the the name of the Company changed again, to Heineken's Indonesische Bierbrouwerijen Maatschappij NV.
In 1957 the Indonesian Government appropriated the brewery, and retained control for the next ten years. In 1967 Heineken resumed operations of the brewery, which was later renamed "Multi Bintang Indonesia". In 1972 the brewery in Tangerang, West Java was built. In 2014, Multi Bintang passed another milestone by building a new state-of-the-art plant for non-alcoholic beverages in Sampangagung, East Java.

Bottle 0.33l from local market. Colour is golden with small white head. Aromas and flavours are grain and some malts. Some strange side tastes. Horrible and revolting.

For a second world pale lager, this isn’t too bad. Decent grain flavor and frothy head. Faint aroma, but not unpleasant. Pretty good for SE asia.

15/IX/2012 33cl can @ home - BB: X/12 (2012-1032) Thanks to Thomas and Annelies for the can!
Clear pale blond beer, big aery white head, unstable, dissipates immediately. Aroma: very sugary, some jelly beans, chemical, little bit of artificial lemon. MF: ok carbon, light to medium body. Taste: some carbon, sour, bit of grains, sweet and sugary, little metallic. Aftertaste: sugary, some medicinal bitterness, wouldn't call it anything hoppy though.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Clear pale golden with a small white head. Light malty aroma. Sweet with just a hint of bitterness. Could be nice in the heat. Drinkable, but not much taste. [Backlog]

330 ml green bottle, from a Bali supermarket. ABV is 0%. Very pale golden colour, large to moderate white head. "Chemical" sweetish aroma (various preservatives are actualy added to this "beer"), notes of unfermented wort, cooked vegetables, pear drops and rotting fruits and vegetables, pretty disgusting. Sweet flavour, sugary and "chemical", no bitterness. Undrinkable - a real drainpour.
