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 2014, Multi Bintang passed another milestone by building a new state-of-the-art plant for non-alcoholic beverages in Sampangagung, East Java.

330ml can from Toko Dago, Bandung. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a short-lived, frothy off-white head. The aroma is roasted malt and liqourice. The flavour is moderate to light liqourice bitter, with a light, slightly watery, earthy, mineral, light liqourice bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average to soft carbonation. Perhaps the worst Guinness Foreign Extra Stout I’ve had.
