Each year, we work with our government affairs team at VanceMitchem Public Affairs to track legislation moving through the Indiana General Assembly that could affect brewery members of the Guild. We encourage you to review proposed legislation as well and either reach out to us with feedback and/or to contact your local Senator or State Representative to share your thoughts on how specific legislation would affect your business – either positively or negatively. If you have questions about the Guild’s position on any of the following, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Previous legislative victories:

2015: Increased Production Limits – granted small breweries the ability to produce up to 90,000 barrels of beer each year, up from the previous 30,000 barrels

2018: Sunday Sales – allowed for carry-out alcohol sales to happen in groceries, pharmacies, restaurants, and packages stores from 12-8p on Sundays.

2024: Collaborative Brewing – created the ability for breweries to produce beer for other Indiana companies holding a small brewers permit up to the amount of barrels that a brewery is currently producing for themselves.
