The Solana ecosystem keeps flirting with the physical world from deep within the digital realm. This time, make use of the universal truth that anything can be made better with beer.
Decentralized alcohol manufacturer barrelDAO has jumped right into the fermentation tanks with this purest of all worldly conceptions in mind. As a result, the infrastructure located in Solana is churning up its very own celebration of the finest collectibles. The final product, the somewhat saccharine-sounding "Solana Summer Lemonade Shandy," was a perplexing blend of soft drink and beer.
Each beverage is adorned with a custom design created by Mark Lauthier, a master of the digital easel. It draws influence from more than 40 other Solana-based NFT PFP collections, such as Cets on Creck, OKAY Bears, Degenerate Apes, and DeGods. 20 of the items included in the photographs were owned by barrelDAO, and the rest 23 were used under license from the owners of those property.
All told, beer lovers had the opportunity to obtain one of 333 redeemable NFTs through the Magic Eden platform, each of which represented a case of 16 cans of soda and cost just 1.35 SOL ($45) each. However, every bundle in the collection sold out nearly instantly, which was unfortunate for latecomers.
