Miller Brewing Fires Man for Drinking Bud Light

Yahoo! News - Wis. Man Says Beer Choice Cost Him Job

Isac Aguero, 24, of Racine Wisconsin and a forklift driver for four years at CJW Inc., a Miller Brewing distributing company, was caught by the local paper while out partying on a Saturday night drinking a Bud Light.

When his picture hit the streets on Monday in the "On the Town" feature of the paper covering the local night life, his employers were none too happy to find him drinking the competition and fired him on the spot.

He says he knew there was trouble when he arrived at work and his fellow employees told him he was in big trouble over the photo. A little while later he was called into the general manager's office and fired.

He says they gave no reason, and sales manager Thomas Bey says the company doesn't talk about past or present employees.

Looks like the beer folks are as bad as the drug folks. Step out of line and they might not shoot you, but they will surely fire you.

I hope he sues the crap out of them and that Anheuser Busch sends him a lifetime supply of his favorite brew for helping them get such great publicity.
