Where Can I Find Cheap Beer In Jogja?

A few months ago when I boarded the bus TransJogja and spoke with two tourists from Australia, they complained about hard to find shops selling beer in Yogyakarta. Whereas a few weeks earlier, there was an article in a travel website saying that Yogyakarta is the city with the cheapest beer prices in the world.

Apparently they did not know that a few weeks earlier, the Government of Republic of Indonesia through the trade ministry has just tightened the distribution of beer in society. So I explained about the new policy. I myself really do not like this policy. The minister said that the beer distribution rules intended to save the young generation from the dangers of alcohol. If the reason it is used, then the state should also prohibits tobacco. Is not smoking is also harmful to health? I understand the dangers of smoking even greater than beer. Beer does not make people drunk, because the alcohol content of beer is only approximately 4.7%. For me, this beer prohibition only to satisfy and accommodate Islamic party faction in parliament, who lost in the 2014 elections.
