Club-Mate is available in 0.33-litre and 0.5-litre bottles.

Some Club-Mate bottles include the slogan "man gewöhnt sich daran" which roughly translates into a challenge to the drinker of “one gets used to it."

Examples of Club-Mate-based mixed drinks are: vodka-mate; Tschunk,[2][3] a combination of rum and Club-Mate; Jaeger-Mate, a mix of Jägermeister and Club-Mate.

History

Geola Beverages of Dietenhofen, Germany originally formulated and marketed Club-Mate under the name Sekt-Bronte since 1924.[4] The drink was only known regionally until acquired by Loscher and marketed under the name Club-Mate in 1994.[5]

In December 2007, Loscher marketed a Club-Mate winter edition. The limited-edition Club-Mate consists of the original formula mixed with cardamom, cinnamon, star anise and citrus extract. It is since sold regularly for a limited time during winter.

In 2009, a Club-Mate-styled cola variety was introduced. Unlike other colas, its recipe includes mate-extract.

In 2013, Club-Mate Granat, a Club-Mate variety with additional pomegranate flavor, was introduced.

As of July 2010, the company listed additional countries like the United Kingdom,[6] the United States,[7] Belgium,[8] Bulgaria [9] and Luxembourg to reach distributors in 40 countries,[10] primarily in Europe, but also in Canada,[11] Australia, Israel, Turkey, Taiwan and South Africa.

Hacker culture

Club-Mate has developed a following in computer hacker culture and tech start-ups, especially in Europe. Bruce Sterling wrote in Wired magazine that it is the favorite beverage of Germany's Chaos Computer Club.[12] It is also popular at Noisebridge[13] and HOPE[14] in the United States, Electromagnetic Field in the UK, the Hack-Tic events in the Netherlands and the FOSDEM in Belgium. Club-Mate appeared in numerous leading media websites like Al-Jazeera,[15] TechCrunch[16] and Vice.[17]
