LAFAYETTE — At noon on Sunday, people may storm down the doors at liquor stores and grocery stores to buy alcohol.  

Sunday marks the first time since the 1930s that people can grab a pack of beer or bottle of wine or liquor from liquor or grocery stores on a Sunday in Indiana. 

Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb signed the bill Wednesday that would allow Sunday sales from noon to 8 p.m. 

But before Sunday, there were only a few places people in Indiana could go and grab beer to-go — breweries. 

The Indiana Legislature allowed breweries to sell their beer on Sundays starting in 2010. 

Dustin Grove, co-owner of Brokerage Brewery, said he's not too worried.

Brokerage opened in mid-December and since then, they've had a strong following for the Sunday beer crowd, he said. 

"We have a lot of faith in our product," Grove said. "We're not too concerned." 

But no one's certain how it will all play out, said Jim Boros, co-owner of the Crawfordsville Backstep Brewing Company.

"I think it's going to put a dent in our Sunday growler sales," he said.
