Bottoms Up: Troy Aikman Announces Launch Of Light Beer Company

Troy Aikman has called his last game of the season as an NFL analyst with Fox Sports, and now it may be time to kick back and have a few brewskis. If not for Aikman, then for you.

After all, Aikman officially announced the launch of a new light beer company, simply called "Eight," noting that it will be available at select locations in Texas starting Tuesday.

The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback revealed earlier this month that he's actually been working on the light beer company for two years. It is being pushed as "a light beer brewed for those who never settle.”

Aikman won three Super Bowls and is one of the most revered Cowboys of all time. The fact that he's giving his fans a chance to remember him with a beer should only increase his popularity.

So while the Cowboys again failed to make it to the Super Bowl, Aikman is giving them a chance to relive the glory days with a product he clearly stands behind. A lot of NFL fans will probably drink to that.
