This collaboration comes in response to a significant revenue decline of 25-30%, attributed to a downturn in tourism, which led to the temporary closure of HUDL's Main Street taproom.

Through this partnership, six of HUDL's core beers will remain accessible at various bars, restaurants, and retailers across Las Vegas. These include:

Vanilla Oak – Vanilla Cream Ale

High Hatter – Pineapple Wheat

Big Wheel Blonde – Blonde Ale

Super Mini – Craft Lager

PeeWee 50 – IPA Lite

Scorched Meadows – Vegas Style Hazy IPA

HUDL's owner, Skip Norfolk, expressed the challenges faced due to the revenue drop, stating, "It was a position where we needed to expand or die, and we weren’t able to put the expansion in place quick enough." 

The Main Street taproom will remain closed until further notice as the team works to "reimagine" the space. In the meantime, the partnership with Neon Desert Brewing ensures that HUDL's beloved beers continue to be part of the Las Vegas craft beer scene.

Jimmy Doyle, head brewer for Neon Desert Brewing, emphasized the importance of this collaboration, stating, "HUDL Brewing is an important part of the Las Vegas craft beer community, and we’re excited to work together to keep their beers available and thriving."

This partnership highlights the resilience and camaraderie within the Las Vegas brewing community, ensuring that local favorites remain accessible to residents and visitors alike.
