"RACINE, Wis. -- The battle of the beers took a new twist in Racine this week when a Miller beer distributor fired an employee whose picture was in the paper. He was drinking a Bud Light.
Competition between Miller Brewing and Budweiser has never been hotter, according to WISN-TV in Milwaukee.
Anheuser-Busch may have three times the market share of Miller, but Miller is the hometown brew.
"This is what happens when you drink a great beer," former C.J.W. employee Isac Aguero said."

"It's my choice of beer. Who can tell you what to drink or not to drink? What you like?" Aguero asked.
Aguero is supporting two young sons so he's on the job hunt, but he's trying to keep his sense of humor.
"I was actually thinking I was going to go apply at Anheuser-Busch," Aguero said.
To Aguero, the whole incident makes no sense.
"It's like saying you work at Pepsi and you get caught drinking a Coke, are you fired for that?" Aguero asked.
"I'm not sure. I mean, I guess so. I got fired for Bud Light," Aguero said.
Two years ago, a truck driver for Coca-Cola lost his job after he was spotted chugging a Pepsi.
For its part, Miller Brewing said its distributors are independent businesses with their own policies -- that Miller has no formal policy on this issue.
now I have to look up that 'coke driver fired for drinking a pepsi' story.
