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.

660 ml can sampled@RBNAG 2009, Vatlandsvåg. Golden body with a fast disappearing white head. Light aroma of sweetish fruit and iron. Flavor has a light fruitiness with a metallic bitterness. Drinkable, but boring. Remember this beer as a bit more decent during my holiday in Bali, but it’s amazing what the environment can do with you’re senses.

Indonesian Restaurant, Amsterdam. Had this with the most wonderful meal and whilst this is a rather average beer, its by no means the worst lager I’ve tasted. There was some hops in there somewhere and it isn’t completely devoid of flavour. So with some good Indo food its ok. In isolation, probably best avoided.
