This week 21st Century Fox announced that it was preparing to make the fictional brew a reality, launching an official “Duff” beer inspired by the long-running TV series The Simpsons, first in Chile and then Europe. The beer’s official slogan is “Can’t Get Enough of That Wonderful Duff”, as well as “It’s Always Time For Duff” and “Now Leaving Duff Country”. The brand’s spokesperson is Duffman, a bleach-blonde, muscular superhero who was created as a parody of Budweiser’s ’70s-era mascot Bud Man. The favoured brew of Homer Simpson, Duff is perhaps the best-known fictional brew of all. Romulan ale – a highly intoxicating beverage of Romulan origin with a characteristic blue colour – also featured in the Star Trek franchise. In 2009, an energy drink called Romulan Ale Energy Drink was manufactured by Boston America and released to tie into the film Star Trek. Last year a real-life version of the beer was released onto the US market by The Federation of Beer – a Canadian company which commissioned Warnog ale to be brewed by the Tin Man Brewing Company of Evansville, Indiana. Described as a 5.5% Roggen Dunkel style ale, the brew was said to “incorporate rye malt into a modern Dunkelweizen grain bill, creating a flavor profile that is both familiar and unique.” While most fictional beverages remain just that, a few have made it into reality. Warnog was the official beer of Star Trek’s infamous Klingon baddies and featured in both The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine TV series. The Klingons, a fictional humanoid species of warriors, were recurring baddies in the television series which was first launched in the 1960s. Named “Say My Name”, “Tread Lightly” and “The One Who Knocks” after well-known phrases in the show, the Blue Ice Vodka bottles have been approved by Vince Gilligan, executive producer and creator of Breaking Bad. Blue Ice Vodka was founded in 2002 and is produced from Idaho Russet potatoes and water sourced from the largest volcanic aquifer in the US. While it doesn’t appear in the TV series, a limited-edition range of “Heisenberg” vodka, inspired by Breaking Bad, were launched in the US earlier this year.
Homebrewer Hank, a drug enforcement officer by day, is seen bottling the presumably German-style ale in season two of the show, and later offers a six-pack of the beer as a prize in an Albuquerque fundraiser, where the show is set. The aptly named brew comes complete with its own personalised label featuring a grinning Hank and carry case. Schraderbräu is the beer brewed by Hank Schrader in AMC’s hit series about a chemistry teacher-turned-drug dealer, Breaking Bad. Have we missed any? Please leave a comment below.
