6 Bottles Of Bintang

Six bottles of Bintang Pilsener. Green glass, red star, red cap. The beer that shows up in every holiday photo taken in Bali for the last forty years. This is not a flower product. This is the product for the person who typed "Bali delivery" into Google and does not want roses.

$30.00 USD. Same day delivery, seven days a week, across all Bali locations including Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, Ubud, Legian and Nusa Dua. Six bottles of Bintang Pilsener, cold, delivered to your door or your hotel.

What Arrives

Six 330ml bottles of Bintang Pilsener. Standard green glass with the white label and red star that every person who has set foot in Bali recognises on sight. 4.7% ABV. Light, clean, slightly malty with a crisp dry finish that makes sense at thirty-two degrees in the shade. Each bottle arrives cold. We pack them in an insulated bag with ice packs because a warm Bintang is a wasted Bintang and Kadek has opinions about that.

No box, no ribbon, no wrapping paper. The bottles arrive upright in the bag and the recipient pulls them out cold and ready. If you want to add flowers, a teddy bear, chocolates, or a candle to the order, those go as separate items. The beer stands on its own.

Why a Florist Sells Beer

I get asked this constantly. The short answer is that customers asked for it first. The longer answer starts in 2015. I had been running Sunny Florist Bali on Jl. Camplung Tanduk in Seminyak for two years and the shop was doing well with flowers, bears, and chocolates. Then a man from Manchester called and said he wanted to send something to his friend at a villa in Canggu. I started listing products. Roses, mixed bouquets, arrangements. He cut me off. "Love, he's a plumber from Salford. He doesn't want flowers. Can you just send him some Bintangs?"

I could. So I did. Six cold Bintangs to a villa on Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong. Kadek bought them from the minimart, packed them in a cooler bag, and rode the scooter over. The plumber answered the door in board shorts and a sunburn and said "you're joking" and then drank the first one on the front step. That night the Manchester guy WhatsApped me: "He hasn't stopped going on about it. What else have you got?"

That order became the reason beer is on the website. Within three months I added six Heinekens as well because some customers wanted the international brand. The Bintang outsells the Heineken roughly four to one. Tourists want the local beer. People who live here already have a fridge full of it.

Friday Night at Old Man's

Old Man's is at the south end of Batu Bolong in Batu Bolong. Open-air bar, live music Fridays, cheap drinks, surfers still salty from the afternoon session. It draws a crowd that skews twenty-five to thirty-five, heavily Australian and European, and it fills from about 5pm. The beer of choice there is Bintang. That red star is tattooed on more forearms in Canggu than any other logo.

A woman from Rotterdam ordered six Bintangs to Old Man's for her boyfriend's birthday last month. He was already at the bar with eight friends. She was still in the Netherlands and could not be there. Kadek arrived at 6:30pm carrying the insulated bag, asked the staff for Marcus, and handed him six cold Bintangs with a card that said "Sorry I'm not there. Drink one for me." Marcus held up the card and read it to the table. Eight people cheered. Kadek said he could hear them from the car park. She sent a follow-up order two days later: a bouquet to their rental villa in Pererenan for when she arrived on Sunday.

Who Orders This

Three types of buyer, roughly equal in volume.

The first is the mate back home. Someone in London or Auckland or Denpasar or Melbourne knows their friend just landed in Bali. The friend is at a villa in Berawa or an Airbnb in Kerobokan. The sender wants to do something funny and thoughtful that is not flowers. Six cold Bintangs arriving at the door within hours of touchdown is exactly that.

The second is the partner who wants to send both. She orders roses for herself and Bintangs for him, or the other way around. Or she orders both to the same room. Flowers on the table, beer in the fridge. We deliver them together when that happens.

The third is the self-purchaser. Tourists at a hotel who cannot be bothered walking to the minimart. Expats hosting a pool afternoon at a villa in Umalas. A group arriving for a 40th birthday weekend in Jimbaran who need cold beer at the villa before anyone arrives. Convenience at a price that barely exceeds retail once you factor in scooter fuel and the time it saves.

Storage

Bintang Pilsener is a standard lager. Keep it cold. If the bottles sit at room temperature in a Bali villa for more than an hour they warm through fast. Fridge immediately on arrival. The ideal drinking temperature is between four and seven degrees Celsius. Anything warmer than ten and the malt character flattens. If the fridge is full, a bucket of ice water will bring six bottles down to temperature in about fifteen minutes. Bintang does not improve with age. Drink it fresh and drink it cold.

Delivery

Same day delivery across all areas of Bali. We buy the beer fresh from a licensed supplier, pack it cold, and Kadek rides it to the address. For villa and Airbnb deliveries, include the full address, pin location if possible, and the guest name. For hotel deliveries, include the hotel name, guest name, and room number if available. For bar or restaurant deliveries, include the venue name and the recipient's name so Kadek can ask for them at the door. Delivery to Tabanan, Gianyar, Sanur, and Pecatu. Seven days a week including public holidays. Questions? Call +62 813 3862 5637 or visit the contact page.
