What happened to Union Street? I loved it there. They are as expensive as going to the Joe now. When I asked the bartender why they raised their pries so much, she replied, "We're no longer Cass Corridor, we're midtown!" Wow! | ||

I'd rather have a Nutblaster at Motor City Brewing Works. Half Nut Brown Ale with half Ghettoblaster. Most satisfactory! | ||

$5??? It's Union Street for the luv'a...! You'd think you were at Joe Louis Arena or Comerica Park with that price for a beer. (Message edited by smogboy on February 29, 2008) | ||

Shit, whatever Bell's product is on tap at Whiskey in The Jar in Hamtramck is cheaper than that garbage. The Norwalk Combo was the best, though: Two pitchers of High Life (Champipple) and a pack of Marlboros for $10. Sure do miss "Fast" Eddie. | ||

It's times like this that I really miss ol' Verne's down in the Cass Corridor... when it was still the CASS Corridor. New name= new prices... sheesh. | ||

That's not gentrification. That's greed! From the land of $4 Miller Lite pints, DaninDC | ||

Is the price increase because of popularity or inflation? | ||

The mistake you made was ordering a Miller Lite. | ||

If you're buying Miller or Bud products, you are paying extra for the massive advertising campaigns of these companies. Its a form of mass brain washing, convincing people that these are good beers. Better to order a local or import craft brew, made with good ingredients. | ||

I dropped into the Cass Cafe on Thursday and I'm pretty sure they had Black Labels for $1. It ain't Motor City Ghettoblaster (yum), but hey, beer for a buck, can't beat that. And only a few short blocks from the fashionable Union Street area of Midtown. | ||
Downriviera Member Username: Downriviera Post Number: 60 Registered: 02-2008 |
When I'm on the cheap, which is quite often these days, I always go for Black Label, Pabst, or Blatz. Made basically the same as Miller/Bud, I think they even taste better. | ||
Danindc Member Username: Danindc Post Number: 3945 Registered: 10-2003 |
quote: Do Miller and Bud actually use hops??? It sure as hell doesn't taste like it! Most domestic lagers use rice malt (not barley) because it's cheaper. There was a big fiasco when Germany hosted the World Cup, and Budweiser was a major corporate sponsor. Until the Bavarian Purity Law was lifted just a few years prior, Budweiser was in effect illegal in Germany. With that said, there is NO excuse to charge $5 for a Miller Lite in Detroit. Ugh. | ||

gentrification started in the corridor like at least 10 years ago, its just that no one was paying too much attention. how long ago was the empowerment zone thing? i can't afford to go to union street, and i was at the majestic last night and they raised their prices as well, not as high though. i will also stick with the bronx, gotta say i dig that place, and the old miami in the summer time... have to add a quick note can not believe how dumb our officials are...lets see try to bring in outside folks to live in 200,000 dollar condos, open a few casinos, and then fire a huuuge chunk of our of our police force. makes no sense to me. i don't get it. not at all. they are jeopardizing everyone's safety around here. it sucks. but back to beer prices...that sucks too! | ||

Wow, they should lose their sellin' miller privileges. Do they have any good specials there to make up for this? | ||
Gnome Member Username: Gnome Post Number: 836 Registered: 08-2007 |
I just called down there ... just to double check the facts ... yup, 5 bucks for a pint of Miller Light. I said, "Are you serious? Do you sell a lot of Miller at that price?" "All day long" came the answer. I guess a fair price is whatever people are willing to pay. I'm not willing to pay $5 for Miller anything. union street: 313 831 3965 | ||

miller lite at the bronx 2.50 old miami 3.00 majestic 3.25 jumbos 2.25 ok ok i go to to many bars. i like miller lite. she does me fine. and low cal. not a big fan of strong beer flavor. but i do like my occasional bass. another great thing about the bronx is they have a license to sell beer to go, and at a buck fifty a pop, i find it safer than going to my neighborhood party store. | ||
