Yes, this is still true and will likely always be true. The brewery is a
pretty standard brewery and not much connected to the "hacker" scene.

They've changed recipe couple of times, every time adding more sugar and
less mate to make it appeal to a broader range of customers. It
developed into a "club scene" drink over time, the "hacker" scene has
since moved on to Flora Power or Leet Mate, closer to the original
recipe. I like them both a lot more (my favorite being Flora).

I'm not aware of any of the three sharing their recipe. Makezine lists a
few Open Mates.
