Bottoms up! After opening a physical store and launching the Saga smartphone, Solana now has its own beverage. Solana Summer Shandy is an alcoholic lemonade drink that’s available to purchase via redeemable NFTs.
Made independently from Solana Labs by barrelDAO, a brewery and distillery governed by users, the shandy will be produced in 333 total 16-packs. Each pack can be purchased for 1.35 SOL, or some $45, on the NFT marketplace, Magic Eden. After purchase, the drink can be shipped only to the United States, United Kingdom, or Australia.
Each can of the Solana Summer Shandy is decorated with artwork representing popular Solana NFT projects. These include Degenerate Ape Academy, Okay Beers, DeGods, and many others. According to barrelDAO, the organization had already owned around 20 NFTs featured on the cans, and has additionally purchased licensing for another 23 NFTs.
