Alcohol laws of Indiana
Indiana is one of nearly a dozen U.S. states to ban all Sunday alcohol sales outside of bars and restaurants.
Effective July 4, 2010, beer sold in microbreweries may be sold on Sundays pursuant to Senate Bill 75. The sales must take place where the brewing is done. The sales limit is two cases per person, or 576 ounces.
In Indiana, alcohol may be sold only to those 21 years of age or older during the hours 7 a.m. to 3 a.m.
Establishments that sell beverages by the "drink" must have food service for 25 (at a minimum, hot soups, hot sandwiches, coffee, milk, and soft drinks) available at all times. It is unlawful for establishments to provide discounts on alcohol to certain customers or at certain times of day (e.g., during "happy hour") that are not available to everyone.[1]
Sale or serving of alcoholic beverages from 3 a.m. Christmas Day until 7 a.m. December 26 was banned until HB 1542 was passed in 2015.[2]
Indiana is not an alcoholic beverage control state.
Public intoxication is a class B misdemeanor in Indiana.
