#2I love Mate.
If you speak german there's a great Chaosradio episode [0] about the different "Hackerbrausen" / "Hackersoda" where they are talking about the history of Club Mate and other drinks in that genre.

#3Hear hear. I love the variety of mate sodas in Berlin too. Club Mate is like the OG, but 1337Mate is promising so far!

#4Didn't know it's that popular, especially among "hackers".
At work the Coca Cola crate gets empty faster than the Club Mate crate.

#6At the 30c3 there were Club Mate and Flora Power.
Flora Power is actually a bit better - not that sweet.

Visit any Hackerspace anywhere in the world, and you'll likely find a crate of two of Club Mate there. It's a de-facto official drink of Hackerspaces worldwide. At ours (Kraków, Poland) we go through a crate or two a week.

Go to any co-working space in Berlin and you'll see.
