NFL Star Troy Aikman Encourages Patriots To 'Drink American' Beer During Fourth Of July Festivities

 NFL Legend and Hall of Famer Troy Aikman slammed foreign beer brands for using the American flag to advertise their product during the Fourth of July, encouraging Americans to “drink American” when celebrating the country’s birthday. 

The legendary quarterback took to Twitter to share his patriotic message, noting how excited he was for the upcoming Independence Day celebrations. He noted how a good celebration includes “good food, great friends, and of course, ice-cold beer.” 

He shared a message about how the beer brand that he owns, Eight Beer, believes in “truth and authenticity,” adding that the company is based in Texas and all of the beer is brewed within the American border. 

The former Dallas Cowboys player then discussed how a lot of beer brands attempt to use the patriotic holiday as a marketing ploy “whether or not they’re truly American.” Aikman finished by encouraging Americans to “drink American, whether it’s Eight Beer or any other American-owned beer brand.” 

Many of the top beer companies like Anheuser-Busch and Heineken are owned by foreign companies and have no actual ownership in the United States of America. Nonetheless, for years these companies have tied their products to the patriotic holiday for marketing purposes while failing to have any patriotism themselves.

America has many different beer brands under its star-spangled belt including brands like Eight Beer, Yuengling, Samuel Adams, Coors Light, and many others. With such a multitude of American options for the Fourth of July, there is really no excuse to be drinking foreign beer on American soil for an American holiday.
