Can't get enough of that wonderful Duff? The Simpsons fans are in luck.

For years, 21st Century Fox has been fighting to shut down wannabe brewers of the show's iconic Duff Beer who don't have rights to the goods. Finally, the company is poised to get in on the game itself.

This week they're rolling out Duff Beer in Chile, with plans to expand in South America and Europe next year, The Wall Street Journal reports. For now, U.S. fans will have to visit Universal theme parks to take a sip of Homer's favorite drink.
