Homer Simpson's favourite beer Duff is to be made available to buy in the UK.

The famous fictional drink from The Simpsons - complete with its slogan, "Can't get enough of that wonderful Duff" - has been developed in real life by The Legendary Duff Beer company.

It has already proved very successful across Europe after being made by German-based company Brewmasters Gebeauts.

Duff beer will be available in bottles or cans, and can be purchased and shipped to various delivery locations in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The Legendary Duff Beer company describes the beverage as: "A premium German pilsner that poses a crisp, light refreshing taste along with iconic packaging.

"The product has certainly fulfilled its namesake in becoming a modern day legend, developing a cult following across the world."

The move coincides with the long-running Fox cartoon's 500th episode, which will air in the UK on Sky1 later this year.
