Hi Mykbear, I understand the beer factories in Indonesia were built by the Dutch colonists. Up until yesterday I had no idea which company this was. However I happened to look closely at the label of a bottle of Heineken beer and noticed a five pointed star as the company logo. Now the Indonesian word for star is bintang, so I deduced (incorrectly or not) that Heineken and Bintang are made from a similar recipe. Perhaps other forum members can shed some light on this?
