A bill that would allow microbreweries to sell beer for takeout on Sundays in Indiana is now before the Indiana House.

The Indiana Senate approved the bill on a 41-9 vote on Thursday.

The bill by Republican Sen. Ron Alting of Lafayette and Democratic Sen. Vi Simpson of Bloomington would limit the amount of Sunday carryout sales from microbreweries to about three cases per transaction. Microbreweries have limits on how much beer they can make each year. There are 32 of them in the state.

Supporters of Alting's bill note that farm wineries in Indiana are allowed to sell their products for takeout on Sundays and say microbreweries should have the same privilege.

  1. Back in my teens/early 20s, Chicago's in Greenfield was a spot where my friends and I ate on a constant basis. Chicago's has always offered good pizza and bread sticks, but after getting married and buying a home, their prices and locations have made it so I would only get their pizza once every three years. They have expanded into McCordsville, but sadly closed the downtown Indy store years ago (this was the coolest layout for a restaurant in my opinion).

    Just recently we decided to try Chicago's at the old Greenfield location. While it was clean, they haven't updated much over the last five years or so. Still the same layout, booths, tables, etc.. I made a comment to my wife about how that place hasn't changed in years. Good to see they are doing well enough to build a newer building.
