After Failures in 2011 and 2016, Beer Returns Imported from Portugal, Produced in Santarém, with Unique Can, Fixed Price, Official Licensing and Strategy from Interfood to Measure Acceptance in Brazil
According to the portal Correio do Estado, Duff beer, known to the Brazilian public for its frequent appearances in The Simpsons, has returned to being imported to Brazil after ten years out of the market, with a new strategy, European production and a bet on official licensing to increase acceptance among consumers.
Return to the Brazilian Market
The import began at the end of December, conducted by Interfood, a company that already works with other brands and is now taking on the official distribution of Duff Beer in the country.
The return occurs after previous attempts that lacked continuity, making this new phase relevant to assess the commercial potential of the brand among the Brazilian public.

The first entry attempt happened in 2011 when Duff Beer arrived in the country, but the initiative did not sustain in the market.
Years later, in 2016, the beer began to be produced by Saint Bier in Santa Catarina, repeating difficulties and again ending its presence.
Now, Interfood is betting on a licensed version, an element considered central to differentiate this import from previous experiences in Brazil.
Origin, Format and Composition of the Beer
The Duff Beer currently imported is produced in Portugal, in the city of Santarém, located near Lisbon, a fact confirmed by the importer itself.
The choice of production country marks a significant change, breaking with previous initiatives made in Brazilian territory during past attempts.
The product arrives exclusively in 330 ml cans, with no forecast for other formats available at this first moment of commercialization.
Classified as premium lager, the beer has an alcohol content of 4.8%, maintaining a profile aligned with the popular consumption associated with the brand.
The suggested price is R$ 15.31, as announced on the website todovino.com.br, the channel used for selling the product in Brazil.
Expectation and Context
The return sparks interest among consumers who grew up following the brand on television, as well as curiosity from occasional beer lovers.
Interfood hopes that the nostalgic appeal, combined with official licensing, contributes to greater acceptance in the national market.
As a background, Duff Beer has a history of interrupted attempts, a factor that makes this new cycle a decisive test for its permanence.

É por isso que tem fracasso de venda, nesse preço absurdo é até melhor não vir pro Brasil.
Quem vai pagar 15 pilas numa lata de cerveja? Nem tragam, vai ser Prejuízo na certa
Certeza! Fracasso total.
Com esse preço? Vai naufragar de novo!
Ainda mais com essa quantidade, isso não mata nem a vontade, eles acham que ganhamos dinheiro e pagamos impostos como como americanos e europeus? Isso enche pouco mais de um copo americano, bebi isso ai em 3 goladas no máximo e já foi embora uma lata, esse preço ai teria que ser em um litro de cerveja, e já estaria caro! Um litro de uma boa cerveja não deveria passar de 10 reais…
