It's fair to say that in The Simpsons, Homer deserves his mantel as a 'drunken gambler'. Wine, whisky (does that count as beer?), dry martinis, and a cocktail prepared by the almost teetotal Ned Flanders, all find their way into Homer's drinks repertoire. Despite all of this - and despite inventing a cocktail of his own - Homer's mainstay is definitely beer. Did you see Mat + Hollie visited Springfield?
He's not, as many would believe, a complete stickler for the wonderful Duff, having dabbled with Fudd, Red Tick Beer, and Tuborg (the beer of Danish Kings); but it does seem to be overwhelmingly his drink of choice.
Now, word on the street is that we'll soon be able to join Homer in a can of the red stuff. Chile will be the first country to see Duff on the shelves, followed by select countries in Europe. At least, that's what the papers are saying!
And I for one welcome this new beer, encouraging others to fill their car holes (or underground salt mines) with crate after crate of the stuff.
Hopefully we'll see Henry K. Duff's Private Reserve follow too...although fortunately, there's no news on the release of Duff Zero.
Altogether now!
'Duff beer for me, Duff beer for you. I'll have a Duff, you'll have one too'.
