[upbeat music] Troy Aikman here, founder of 8 Elite Light Beer. Listen, I'm not gonna sugarcoat this. The big light beers are brewed with additives, like corn, rice, and sweetener. But not 8, it's additive free. In fact, I'm gonna read the entire ingredients list to you right off the box. Water, malt, hops. Huh. That's pretty simple. I wonder why that's so hard for the big light beers. 8 Elite Light Beer. Lose the additives, keep the taste. Now available in a slim can. 8 Brewing Company. Please drink responsibly.
