Milliken - A sip of Coors apparently cost a loyal Bud man his job - and now he wants to tell his tale in court.
Ross Hopkins, 41, says he was fired as a supervisor at American Eagle Distributing Co. - a Budweiser distributor - after he was seen by the son-in- law of the company president with a bottle of Coors at a Greeley bar.
Hopkins says he doesn't even like Coors that much and took a pull only because it was offered to him during $1 beer night.

Took him two years to decide this? How many Coors did he have?
I believe it took this long to finally get to court. Story is he's looking for a settlement before actual proceedings begin.
What a JERK son-in-law!
Trying to get in good with dear old dad?
Close your eyes and you can't tell them apart. One is Clydesdale piss and the other from wild horses.
Your primary job is to be an ambassodor for your brand.
If you don't do your primary job, you get fired.
How hard is that to comprehend?
He Choose....Poorly
An accurate description. I've been buying Spaten Optimator lately. Dark color, pleasing aroma, smooth taste. I prefer the darker brews as they seem to be passed over by my American brew loving friends. I buy Dos Equis for them - there's always a beer left in the fridge for me.
Both Coor's and Bud are poor beers - with Coors probably at the bottom of the list.
"Your primary job is to be an ambassodor for your brand."
I agree 100 percent. And when the son-in-law of the boss is offering to buy you a beer, you better have one with him, and make it a Bud.
$1 beer night?
God, I wish we had that around here!
Though I don't disagree with your assessment of the flavor...it is possible to tell them apart. Budweiser tastes much closer to water than Coors. Except for Coors Light, which is water.
But the "silver bullet" won't slow ya down. Makes ya pee alot tho.
Give me a frothy pint of Guinness!
Heh heh.. if you think that's good it will kill you when I tell you about the special a certain bar runs here on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Nights.
Lovingly called "Five dollar you hollar" by the college population here, for a $5 cover you get as much alchohol as you can drink, including beer and mixed drinks. Sometimes I am going to hate leaving this town :)
Have you noticed that Coors Light is the overwhelming choice of beer among women? Maybe because it doesn't taste like beer?
Have any idea what the water is like when it gets to St. Louis ?
darn close. I can still tell the diff. But good enough for me!
and poofers too!
