Inside Cass Corridor's New Beer Bar Pouring Czech-Style Beer Shots and Boilermakers
8 Degrees Plato, a beer bar that served as an epicenter for craft beer for 14 years since its beginnings as a small shop in Ferndale, closed in December 2024. The space, often described by regulars as the neighborhood's living room, has been taken over by hospitality veterans Erik Annonson, Elliot Hoffman, and partner Brittney Carnahan. Their new bar, Meantime, embraces the idea of an undefined stretch of time — a place where patrons can stop in for one drink or stay for several. After two weekends of lowkey service, Meantime is set to officially debut on Friday, May 23. The team has reimagined the 2,400-square-foot space and added their touches, complementing design work by local designer Danny Jacobs. Materials from the bar's previous life, including former baker's racks and wood from old bleachers once used as beer shelving at 8 Degrees Plato, have been repurposed as drink rails. Communal seating has been updated in favor of a couch and individual chairs. The original beer cooler remains, offering a selection of local packaged brews, classics like Coors Banquet, wine, cider, and a variety of nonalcoholic options. As temperatures rise, the large front windows will lift open, blurring the line between indoor and patio seating. The trio initially planned to open Side Pull Brewery, but when the 8 Degrees space became available, they shifted gears, installing two side pull faucets in tribute to the original concept. This faucet, commonly used for Czech pilsners, controls the beer's flow to create a creamy head, a traditional way to serve and enjoy the style. They've partnered with Hamtramck-based Florian East Lagers & Ales to brew a Czech-style lager that will serve as Meantime's house beer — a recipe originally intended to be the flagship at Side Pull. The beer can be enjoyed on its own, with a shot of Old Grand-Dad in the custom shot glasses Brittney Carnahan casts at Pewabic Pottery, or as a mlíko shot — a Czech-style pour that fills the glass with dense foam and just a bit of lager. The creamy, sweet shot, which resembles milk, is traditionally consumed in one go to capture the beer's aromatic head before it settles. While Meantime doesn't serve food, it will regularly host rotating pop-ups. Opening weekend features offerings from Bao Chicka Bao Bao and Gajiza Dumplins. Guests are also welcome to bring in outside food. Guests can also become a 'pal,' which is the beer bar's version of a mug club membership, for $80 a year. Perks include discounts on the house lager and house lager-and-shot combo, 15 percent off all drafts, in-house wine, and cocktails, 25 percent off on Mondays, 10 percent off merchandise, and access to three annual member parties. Meantime is located at 3409 Cass Avenue in Detroit ; open from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday, 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday, noon to 11 p.m. on Saturday, noon to 10 p.m. on Sunday, and 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday.

Man arrested for drunk driving with child in car on I-4: FHP
LAKELAND, Fla. (WFLA) — A man was arrested Saturday and charged with driving under the influence, reckless driving, and child neglect after fleeing an attempted traffic stop with his 8-year-old nephew in the car, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. FHP said two troopers were conducting a routine traffic stop near mile marker 35 on Interstate 4 when they observed a white SUV driving in a 'reckless manner.' The troopers said they signaled for the driver, identified as Daniel Ira Niles Alvarez, 31, to switch lanes, but he ignored them and instead accelerated. An arrest report said Alvarez began passing other vehicles on the left shoulder and weaving abruptly into lanes before stopping at mile marker 33. When troopers approached Alvarez, they said he was slow to respond and had glassy eyes. A strong odor of alcohol was also detected. Troopers observed a wet stain on Alvarez's pants and noted that he had difficulty walking when asked to exit the vehicle. Seated in the front passenger seat was Alvarez's 8-year-old nephew, according to the report. FHP said troopers searched the vehicle and found an unsealed yellow can with a red cap in the driver's side door, along with multiple open beer cans labeled 'Coors Banquet' on the rear floorboards. Alvarez agreed to perform field sobriety exercises, which troopers said he performed poorly. He was taken into custody and transported to jail, where breath tests showed blood alcohol levels of 0.143 and 0.145, nearly twice the legal limit in Florida. FHP arrested Alvarez and charged him with driving under the influence, reckless driving, and child neglect. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Molson Coors CEO to retire after 6 years at the helm
This story was originally published on Food Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Food Dive newsletter. Molson Coors CEO Gavin Hattersley announced he will retire by the end of 2025 after six years leading the company. The beverage giant's board is searching for its next CEO with the help of a third-party firm. Hattersley, who originally hails from South Africa, has worked in the beer industry for 28 years, first joining the former Miller Coors in 2002. His tenure leading Molson Coors has coincided with changes in the beer category, as many younger consumers are leaving the category for other beverages. In a statement posted to LinkedIn, Hattersley said during his tenure the company 'strengthened our supply chain and invested in our breweries, and through it all, we've built a stronger business.' Geoff Molson, the chair of the company's board, called Hattersley a 'steady hand at the wheel as CEO, navigating through incredible challenges that no one could ever have predicted while guiding our Company to growth.' In the press release, Molson Coors said Hattersley has substantially grown its bottom line, achieving $11.6 billion in revenue in 2024. The company has also cut its debt by nearly 40% since 2019. One month after becoming CEO in 2019, Hattersley overhauled its corporate structure into two separate business units and cut 500 jobs to boost the company's cash flow. He also cut 'Brewing' from the company's name and replaced it with 'Beverage' to better reflect its broadening ambitions. The executive has expanded the brewer's 'Beyond Beer' portfolio, expanding its reach into new categories such as canned cocktails, premium spirits and energy drinks. Under Hattersley's direction, the company also offloaded four underperforming craft beer brands to Tilray last year and refocused its efforts on its popular brews including Blue Moon and Coors Banquet in 2025. Molson Coors has also faced some challenges during the CEO's tenure, notably a prolonged labor strike at a Texas facility last year and a cyberattack that disrupted its beer production in 2021. Hattersley's departure comes as other high-profile CEOs in the food and beverage industry have announced plans to retire, including Hershey's Michele Buck and Monster Beverage co-CEO Rodney Sacks.
