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 affiliate station WISN 12 News 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.
Last Saturday night in Racine at the Mardi Crawl on Main Street, a newspaper photographer asked a group of revelers to pose for a picture. The only problem was that a man holding a Bud Light worked for a Miller distributor.
"I was just having a good time," Aguero said.
