Big news if you like their beers like I do. Always nice to get a new brewery entering your states distro. Cheers Nevadans!
For interested Nevadans, here's a couple of links for ya.

Always exciting to get new distribution. Although not a huge fan of their stuff, it's alright though.
They're one of the better large-scale producers of German (and English) beers in the US. Even though I'm not a nitro fan, I've always liked the way they infiltrated Guinness strongholds with their Nitro Milk Stout. LH undercut those steep import prices by about 30% and it's a more flavorful beer to boot...at least IMO.
I really enjoy 400 Pound Monkey which they describe as an English IPA. It's malty but with some nice hops balance, nothing like a West Coast IPA but still a tasty treat for those that don't always like hop bombs. Not sure how many of the bombers you will get, but Wake Up Dead Imperial Russian Stout is quite nice, and Fade to Black Vol. 1 is a nice foreign export stout. Similar to Milk Stout but a little less sweet and a little higher gravity- great hops balance.
