This is completely fictional brand, albeit painfully similar to the mega US Budweiser.
Real beer industry could not stay away, and now beer Duff produces a multitude of small breweries around the world. Channel FOX chasing them with lawsuits and Duff beer is becoming a rarity. For example, the Australian box Duff on eBay can now be bought for $ 10,000, although once he was worth $ 24 in the store. In the United Arab Emirates in the dubbing of the series Duff beer turns into non-alcoholic sodas and hot dogs - in beef sausages.
