0 2A - Wednesday, September 17, 2008 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Six-pack, four wheels The keg is tapped. The 30-packs emptied. And to keep the party going, a late night beer run is needed. Not too long ago, University students and AnnArbor citizens could restock their refreshments for the rest of the night without even leaving the air-conditioned. comfort of their cars. Up until 2003, the Beer Depot in downtown Ann Arbor offered its customers who were too lazy ortoo hurried to get out of their cars a drive-through service to purchase alcohol. Paul Karlinski, a University alum, remembers riding in a friend's car to buy beer at the store. "I thought it was amazing that you could drive through to get it," he said. Ben Grabill, the Beer Depot's manager, said he started work- ing at the store six-and-a-half years ago when the ownership changed. That was just before the drive-through was removed. Grabill said customers, often intheirfifties,comeintothestore on a daily basis asking about the fate of the drive-through. The fate of the Depot's drive- through was sealed when the store changed locations in 2003 from South State Street to its current location on East Wil- liam Street with the transfer of ownership, according to Ken Wozniak, the director of execu- tive service for the Liquor Con- trol Commission in Michigan. Wozniak said it is illegal to transfer a liquor license that allows the sale of alcoholic beverages through a window to a new location. He added that police were having a hard time monitoring alcohol sales with this type of business, so they stopped issuing licenses to businesses with drive-through or walk-up windows. When the new owners requested their license be transferred to the store's new location, they were denied, in part because they wished to continue the drive-through service, he said. The new owners appealed the order denying their request in October of thatyear and received their license in December, pro- vided that the drive-through window be closed and perma- nently sealed, Wozniak said. Though the days of the drive-through have passed, the Depot's drive-through sign remains mostly untouched, a wistful reminder of easier beer- buying days past.
