Beeeeeeer...

How many times have you watched The Simpsons and thought ‘I could murder a Duff Beer?’

If you’re anything like JOE, probably every single time Homer cracks open a frosty one.

The iconic cartoon beer has remained on screen and out of reach of our ale-parched tongues for 26 years…until now.

21st Century Fox has announced the company will start selling Duff Beer this week. Cue wild celebrations.

Duff will go on sale in Chile this week and could be winging its way to a tavern near you by early 2016.

We’ve got pirates to thank for this wonderful news. Fox’s consumer products division chief told the Wall Street Journal: “Once you see enough piracy, you’re faced with two choices. One is deciding to fight it, and the other is deciding to go out [into the market] with it.”

So what will this wonderful nectar taste like?

Well, the company say it will be a deep golden premium lager with a caramel aromatic and a hint of fruit to it.

Fantastic news, but we don’t know if we can wait until 2016 to enjoy a pint.
