Craft brewers in Nevada have long been held back by an industry criticized for favoring distributers and big-name brands, according to many brewery owners in the state. Strict laws limit distribution activity, production, and more for those trying to make a buck on hop-based beverages. In an effort to quell some of the seemingly unfair rules that affect them, craft brewers have joined together, forming associations that represent their wants and needs with a united voice.
