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.

George Washington chicken nugget draws bids of $350 on eBay
A three-year-old McDonald's Chicken McNugget has been drawing bids of more than $350 (£220) on eBay.
The item, being sold by Rebekah Speights, bears a resemblance to the first American president George Washington, according to Sioux City Journal.
Speights, from Dakota City, recalled the time she came across the chicken nugget. She was eating at a McDonald's with her children when she was about to throw away the leftover food.
She said: "I looked down at the McNugget and just started laughing. I saw this portrait of George Washington staring back at me."
Speights stored the chicken nugget in her freezer but was eventually convinced to put it up for auction for charity for the Family Worship Center in Sioux City.
Yesterday (February 23), the highest bid was at $356 (£225).
