I’m not sure how legit this is, but a Mexican website is selling Duff beer (Babel Fish translation)! Half a case sells for 199 pesos ($18.19) with a minimum order of five cases. The production is limited, and it seems to be targeted at bars and restaurants. D’oh!

“Whichever hill the box?” and “From whichever boxes they command?” are questions I ask myself daily.

According to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duff_Beer, also available in Scotland, as in “Lay on Mc…,” I suppose.

Ah, I knew I should’ve checked Wikipedia. That’s very interesting. Here’s the relevant portion for those interested:
Mexican entrepreneur Rodrigo Contreras bought the rights to the Duff trademark from 20 Century Fox to sell the popular beer in Mexico. Mr. Contreras is apparently the only trademark holder of this beer. He is currently awaiting patent to sell Homer’s favorite beer in the United States. ( Not correct see Duff Trading Company Ltd. UK trademark owners)
