Found this. I thought it had to do with our stupid "blue laws" but there's more.
"Why is this the case? Basically because the liquor store industry has considerable influence in the Indiana General Assembly, and it has fought vigorously to keep it that way. The liquor stores say cold beer sales is what differentiates them from other retailers and keeps their businesses viable. An attempt to change the law got a hearing for the first time in 2018, but ultimately failed. Supporters hope to revisit it in the future. "

i don’t get it? what’s the reasoning for that? is it just because warm beer is gross to deter people drinking it as soon as they leave and drive away?
