Don't do this at home
Warning on Phoronix (I don't think anyone here would do this anyways).

Love the photo attached from the article with REAL Guinness, not the halal crap in Malaysia and Indonesia

Re: Don't do this at home
I don't drink anymore but use beer and stout for cooking and Mansion House Brandy (LOL) for baking. At least you're close enough to Surabaya to get stuff. When I was in Malang, all my teachers would complain that all they had to drink was Bintang and Anker and would sometimes phone in sick with Bintang belly.

Re: Don't do this at home
How can beer be halal? I mean, IIRC Muslim dietary laws forbid alcohol altogether. Is this a non-alcoholic Guinness then?

^^ ikr, especially anker... that tastes like rat's piss, a sure way to get you leptospirosis. LOL
^ By halal he meant severely reduced alcohol percentage, and though most moslem majority countries effectively ban any alcoholic beverages, some like Indonesia and Malaysia still allow it (in limited places, mostly at major cities or some region where its inhabitant are predominantly non-moslem )

Re: Don't do this at home
No, by halal I mean the Guinness Foreign Stout formula was changed slightly and the filtration is different to meet standards set by the Indonesian government, and not regarding the recent change in the laws in Indonesia for beer sales and the creation of crappy Guinness Zero. I used to consume a fair bit of Guinness in my younger days and the taste of Guinness here is definitely different and it makes my lamb and beef stews taste slightly different. In Bali, we can still get Guinness Foreign Stout from Australia or Singapore which tastes normal.
As far as Muslim dietary laws go here, there are many Muslims who drink alcohol regularly and eat haram food occasionally except during Ramadhan. There is also a fatwa against smoking in Indonesia but that doesn't stop Muslim Indonesians from smoking. ;)

Re: Don't do this at home
^ aww okay, i misinterpreted that. Thanks :)
I'm not even aware there's a fatwa against smoking here.... lol that explains a lot. I rarely interact with the Moslems, the strict ones at least.
