One hundred years after the prohibition of alcohol sales in the United States, Indiana still has a prohibition on the sale of cold beer at grocery and convenience stores.
But, the Indiana General Assembly has an opportunity to change that.
A cold beer bill has already been filed in the Senate, and if passed would make it legal for you to buy a cold one at grocery and convenience stores.
The legislature begins their session Monday. Indiana Grocery and Convenience Store Assoc. Pres. Joe Lackey said he supports the bill but doesn’t believe it will pass this year.
Lackey said he believes the only reason Indiana only allows cold beer to be sold at liquor stores is so liquor stores can maintain a monopoly on their sales.
He pointed out that cold beer is sold at a higher price than warm beer.
