Bintang is Indonesia’s biggest selling beer an is produced by the huge international brewer Heineken. Being a pilsener style beer and having a 5% alcohol volume the beer is very similar in flavor to that of Heineken. The beer was introduced onto the maket in 1929 in a time when Indonesia whas under Dutch Rule and was brewed in Surabaya, Indonesia’s second largest city. Heineken became the largest shareholder in 1936 and today the brewery is known as MBI or Multi Bintang Indonsesia. The brewery now operates two breweries in Indonesia one in Samang Agung and the other at Tangerang. They produce a range of beer products including Heineken, Guinness all under licence and a no alcohol Green Sands soft drink like beer plus their latest beer the BIntang Zero which we will feature in the coming weeks.

Does anyone know where in Australia you can buy Green Sands soft drink (mentioned here as a Bintang product). I have fond memories of this refreshing drink which is MUCH better than a shandy!

Hello and greetings from the Philippines.
My name is Fred Quimbo, a 78-year old retiree in the Philippines.
I collect beer caps, labels and coasters in my retirement. For this reason,
I am appealing for help in enhancing my collection with the addition of collectible (merchandising) items of Bintang beer and
related brands.
Thank you in advance for the anticipated favorable response.
