Bintang

As you can see in this photo I have been working on my tan.

The almighty Bintang. The national beer of Bali. Emblazoned on singlets and shorts of bogans everywhere on the island. Some even go the combo two piece Bintang outfit. You can buy pretty much anything with a Bintang logo on it everywhere you go.

It really is a good beer on a sweltering hot day, unfortunately you struggle to get an ice cold one anywhere but I guess it's understandable given the weather. The fact that you can get a giant bottle like this for 2-3 bucks with lunch or dinner is very enticing.

Maybe at face value the Storm Pale Ale was the better beer, but given the price and widespread availability and domination the Bintang holds, you have to respect it.

Bali Travel Tip #4

Try not to select your place of eating based on the offer of free wi fi. Sometimes it works, but more often than not it is a nostalgic return to the dawn on the internet. Do you remember 14.4k modems?
