You can order it in North America from the 2600 store: http://store.2600.com/clubmate.html Funny there was no mention in the article that they are the eastern distributor what with them being a hacker organization with deep ties to the CCC.

If you live in the NYC are, come to the H.O.P.E. convention, there will be plenty for sale.
"The golden soda has become essential nourishment for anyone in Berlin involved in hacktivism, club culture, dance music, tech—just about everyone in the city under the age of 40." What a ridiculous sentence.
The article looked to me like very obvious PR. This article[1] from pg has been linked like a million times, but it's as relevant as it was the first time. > Trend articles like this are almost always the work of PR firms. Once you know how to read them, it's straightforward to figure out who the client is. EDIT: oftenwrong linked the article before me; I hadn't read their message when I send mine. I'm glad I'm not t…

Well, about half of the people I introduced to Club Mate said the exact same thing - that it tastes like water from cigarette butts. Haters gonna hate. I still love it. ;).
Club Mate is the only caffeinated soda that isn't overly sweet, doesn't give me a bad stomach and doesn't make me jittery. The first time I had it was at a CCC event in 2002, and back then, it was really obscure. In the last 5 or so years though, it has became a staple in Berlin, and you can get it at practically every corner shop.
Mate is the national drink here in Uruguay, has been for a century or two :) (and for 500 years in Paraguay). And it was a fad in California some years past.

It's a wonderful drink. I've been hooked up on it for many years now and it's the perfect hacking companion. I still get my morning resurrection from coffee, but abandon it afterwards.

> before it becomes a bitter, undrinkable blargh. Try a small amount of honey, I drink a fair amount of tea (I'm English, it has to be done) and I'm one of those freaks who like it pretty stewed but if I go too far I find a drop of honey takes a lot of the edge of the bitterness.
