    I assumed, big rock isn't cheap and clubhouse is the opposite of cheap.

    Breweries / Bars:
    Kuhnhenn, Warren
    Dragonmead, Warren
    One Eyed Betty's, Ferndale

    Stores:
    Holiday Market, Royal Oak
    Beer Baron, Livonia
    Cloverleaf, Royal Oak

    None of these are that far from Warren.

    Also, the prices for the "regular" beers at Griffin Claw are reasonable. The BA stuff is expensive, though.

    You mentioned ren cen, take a walk over to Woodward and head one block north towards campus martius...the grand trunk pub is a great place for beers and food. I think the have like 30 -40 drafts now.

    If you're willing to go up to the burbs, BFD Clubhouse in Rochester has a great tap selection.

    Green Dots Stables is in the D, great sliders and pretty good local beers.
    SLOW'S <3 so many taps, such good BBQ...

    You must be on a trip to the General. You have some good places mentioned.
