Still part of heineken though, Heineken Indonesia operational since 1929 i recall.

Nope, it taste differently.

Haineken has smoother taste, while bintang is a bit of rough and strong.

A question, can beer sold openly in Indonesia? I ask because in Malaysia, non-halal products are being restricted to a small designated corners in supermarket and convenient stores, except in non-Muslim restaurants and shops. And in Muslim majority area they are sometimes totally not allowed to be sold (in some 7-Eleven stores, for example).

Indonesia is the same.

But drinking culture is quite wide spread if you want to investigate it deeply. It just doesn't too visible on the street.

Personally I still prefer Bintang over Heineken .

Interesting video, looks like many are home brew drinks. We can't have home brew drinks because our law prohibits it, could be because our government wants to control tax collection on all alcoholic drinks which is more like a 200% tax.

I drank Qingdao beer in Shenzhen for RMB 4 per large bottle fifteen years ago, In Malaysia we would have to pay around RMB 20 (Ringgit 10) for a bottle of Anchor beer or Tiger beer during the same time period.

Only those that came in plastic bag or PET bottle are home brew, while the rest of them are legit factory made. The normal price for home brew pure grain ethanol (190 proof) is about €3.5 / liter, and I usually bought it for backup / emergency cooking fuel (Trangia field stove)

In Indonesia the normal supermarket price for Bintang Beer (620 mL) is around €2 (I use EUR as currency for ease of price comparison). Keep in mind the price can be varied greatly depending on the venue, for example last month I've end up paying 3x of that price when I was dining in upscale restaurant .
I usually always keep around some Smirnoff vodka or Absolute Vodka in the fridge
