Hops purchase commitments outstanding at December&#xA0;27, 2014 totaled $34.2&#xA0;million, based on the exchange rates on that date.

This agreement also establishes the terms on which Anchor may supply glass bottles to other breweries where the Company brews its beers. Under the agreement with Anchor, the Company has minimum and maximum purchase commitments that are based on Company-provided production estimates which, under normal business conditions, are expected to be fulfilled. Minimum purchase commitments under this agreement, assuming the supplier is unable to replace lost production capacity cancelled by the Company, as of December&#xA0;27, 2014 totaled $22.1 million.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"> The Company has various operating lease agreements in place for facilities and equipment as of December&#xA0;27, 2014.

In the normal course of its business, the Company has historically entered into various production arrangements with other brewing companies. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company purchases the liquid produced by those brewing companies, including the raw materials that are used in the liquid, at the time such liquid goes into fermentation. The Company is required to repurchase all unused raw materials purchased by the brewing company specifically for the Company&#x2019;s beers at the brewing company&#x2019;s cost upon termination of the production arrangement. The Company is also obligated to meet annual volume requirements in conjunction with certain production arrangements, which are not material to the Company&#x2019;s operations.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"> The Company&#x2019;s arrangements with other brewing companies require it to periodically purchase equipment in support of brewery operations.

This results in differences between the book and tax bases of the Company&#x2019;s assets and liabilities and carryforwards, such as tax credits. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events, other than enactment of changes in the tax laws or rates, are generally considered. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent deemed necessary when realization of deferred tax assets appears unlikely.</p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"> The calculation of the Company&#x2019;s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in several different state tax jurisdictions. The Company is periodically reviewed by tax authorities regarding the amount of taxes due. These reviews include inquiries regarding the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. In accordance with ASC Topic 740, <i>Income Taxes</i>, the Company records estimated reserves for exposures associated with positions that it takes on its income tax returns in accordance with that standard.</p> </div> 0.0015 <div> <p style="margin-top:18pt;

For purposes of determining whether there are any impairment losses, as further discussed below, management has historically examined the carrying value of the Company&#x2019;s identifiable long-lived assets, including their useful lives, when indicators of impairment are present. For all long-lived assets, if an impairment loss is identified based on the fair value of the asset, as compared to the carrying value of the asset, such a loss would be charged to expense in the period the impairment is identified. Furthermore, if the review of the carrying values of the long-lived assets indicates impairment of such assets, the Company may determine that shorter estimated useful lives are more appropriate. In that event, the Company will be required to record additional depreciation in future periods, which will reduce earnings.</p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"> Factors generally considered important which could trigger an impairment review on the carrying value of long-lived assets include the following: (1)&#xA0;significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; (2)&#xA0;significant changes in the manner of use of acquired assets or the strategy for the Company&#x2019;s overall business; (3)&#xA0;underutilization of assets; and (4)&#xA0;discontinuance of products by the Company or its customers.

The Company recognizes revenue on product sales at the time when the product is shipped and the following conditions are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title has passed to the customer according to the shipping terms, the price is fixed and determinable, and collection of the sales proceeds is reasonably assured. If the conditions for revenue recognition are not met, the Company defers the revenue until all conditions are met. As of December&#xA0;27, 2014 and December&#xA0;28, 2013, the Company has deferred $6.0 million and $8.4 million, in revenue related to product shipped prior to these dates. These amounts are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.</p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"> In certain circumstances and with the Company&#x2019;s approval, the Company accepts and destroys stale beer that is returned by Distributors. The Company generally credits approximately fifty percent of the distributor&#x2019;s cost of the beer that has passed its expiration date for freshness when it is returned to the Company or destroyed. The Company reduces revenue and establishes an accrual based upon both historical returns, which is applied to an estimated lag time for receipt of product, and knowledge of specific return transactions.

The Company may elect an interest rate for borrowings under the credit facility based on either (i)&#xA0;the Alternative Prime Rate (3.25% at December&#xA0;27, 2014) or (ii)&#xA0;the applicable LIBOR rate (0.16% at December&#xA0;27, 2014) plus 0.45%. The Company incurs an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on the unused portion of the facility and is obligated to meet certain financial covenants, which are measured using earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (&#x201C;EBITDA&#x201D;) based ratios. The Company&#x2019;s EBITDA to interest expense ratio was 9,492 as of December&#xA0;27, 2014, compared to a minimum allowable ratio of 2.00 and the Company&#x2019;s total funded debt to EBITDA ratio was 0.00 as of December&#xA0;27, 2014, compared to a maximum allowable ratio of 2.50. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of December&#xA0;27, 2014 and December&#xA0;28, 2013. There were no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility as of December&#xA0;27, 2014 and December&#xA0;28, 2013.</p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"> There are also certain restrictive covenants set forth in the credit agreement. Pursuant to the negative covenants, the Company has agreed that it will not: enter into any indebtedness or guarantees other than those specified by the lender, enter into any sale and leaseback transactions, merge, consolidate, or dispose of significant assets without the lender&#x2019;s prior written consent, make or maintain any investments other than those permitted in the credit agreement, or enter into any transactions with affiliates outside of the ordinary course of business. In addition, the credit agreement requires the Company to obtain prior written consent from the lender on distributions on account of, or in repurchase, retirement or purchase of its capital stock or other equity interests with the exception of the following: (a)&#xA0;distributions of capital stock from subsidiaries to The Boston Beer Company, Inc. and Boston Beer Corporation (a subsidiary of The Boston Beer Company, Inc.), (b)&#xA0;repurchase from former employees of non-vested investment shares of Class&#xA0;A Common Stock, issued under the Employee Equity Incentive Plan, and (c)&#xA0;redemption of shares of Class&#xA0;A Common Stock as approved by the Board of Directors and payment of cash dividends to its holders of common stock. Borrowings under the credit facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. In the event of a default that has not been cured, the credit facility would terminate and any unpaid principal and accrued interest would become due and payable.</p> <p style="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"> <i>Note Payable</i></p> <p style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"> In June 2012, the Company entered into a grant facility with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the &#x201C;Commonwealth&#x201D;) for $770,000. The purpose of the grant is to provide the Company funds to support economic development through the repaving of a parking lot and loading docks at its Pennsylvania Brewery. Under the terms of the grant, the Company was required to fund this project through a note arrangement, with the Commonwealth reimbursing the Company for its debt service over a 10-year period.</p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"> To fund the project, the Company entered into a term note arrangement with Bank of America N.A. in June 2012. The note is for approximately $628,000 and has a maturity date of December&#xA0;31, 2021. The interest rate for the note is fixed at an annual rate of 4.25%. Payments of $77,000 are due annually beginning on December&#xA0;31, 2012, which amount will be reimbursed to the Company by the Commonwealth. The note is secured by interest in a CD held by the bank totaling approximately $513,000 which is reduced each year based on principal payments on the note; this amount is accounted for as restricted cash and is included in other assets on the Company&#x2019;s consolidated balance sheet. As of December&#xA0;27, 2014, the balance of the note was $513,000.</p> <p style="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"> <i>Capital Lease</i></p> <p style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"> In October 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to lease equipment with a lease inception date of January&#xA0;4, 2013. The Company recorded the lease as a capital lease, which resulted in $796,000 recorded as property, plant, and equipment. The amortization of the leased equipment is included with depreciation expense in Note E. At December&#xA0;27, 2014, the balance of the capital lease obligation was $70,000, after payments of $726,000 as required by the agreement.</p> </div> 6.96 <div> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; WORD-SPACING: 0px; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt 'Times New Roman'; MARGIN-TOP: 18pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"> <b>I.

The second is the A&amp;S Brewing Collaborative operating segment which is comprised of The Traveler Beer Company, Angel City Brewing Company, Concrete Beach Brewing Company, and Coney Island Brewing Company. Both segments have similar economic characteristics. They also sell predominantly low alcohol beverages, which are sold to the same types of customers in similar size quantities, at similar price points and through substantially the same channels of distribution. These beverages are manufactured using similar production processes, have comparable alcohol content and generally fall under the same regulatory environment. Since the operating segments are similar in the areas outlined above, they are aggregated for financial statements purposes.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 18pt"> <b><i>Use of Estimates</i></b></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt"> The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based on historical trends, customer knowledge, any known disputes, and the aging of the accounts receivable balances combined with management&#x2019;s estimate of future potential recoverability. Receivables are written off against the allowance after all attempts to collect a receivable have failed. The Company believes its allowance for doubtful accounts as of December&#xA0;27, 2014 and December&#xA0;28, 2013 are adequate, but actual write-offs could exceed the recorded allowance.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 18pt"> <b><i>Concentrations of Credit Risk</i></b></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt"> Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. As of December&#xA0;27, 2014, the Company&#x2019;s cash and cash equivalents were invested in investment-grade, highly-liquid U.S. government agency corporate money market accounts.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"> The Company sells primarily to a network of independent wholesalers in the United States and to a network of wholesalers, importers or other agencies (collectively referred to as &#x201C;Distributors&#x201D;). In 2014, sales to foreign Distributors were approximately 4% of total sales. Receivables arising from these sales are not collateralized; however, credit risk is minimized as a result of the large and diverse nature of the Company&#x2019;s customer base. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. There were no individual customer accounts receivable balances outstanding at December&#xA0;27, 2014 and December&#xA0;28, 2013 that were in excess of 10% of the gross accounts receivable balance on those dates. No individual customers represented more than 10% of the Company&#x2019;s revenues during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 18pt"> <b><i>Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments</i></b></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt"> The Company&#x2019;s primary financial instruments consisted of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses at December&#xA0;27, 2014 and December&#xA0;28, 2013. The Company determines the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#x201C;FASB&#x201D;) Accounting Standards Codification (&#x201C;ASC&#x201D;) Topic 820, <i>Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures</i> (&#x201C;ASC&#xA0;820&#x201D;). The Company believes that the carrying amount of its cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial assets and liabilities.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 18pt"> <b><i>Inventories and Provision for Excess or Expired Inventory</i></b></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt"> Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods. Raw materials, which principally consist of hops, malt, apple juice, other brewing materials and packaging, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market value. The cost elements of work in process and finished goods inventory consist of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Packaging design costs are expensed as incurred.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"> The provisions for excess or expired inventory are based on management&#x2019;s estimates of forecasted usage of inventories on hand and under contract. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for certain products as compared to forecasted amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess or expired inventory in the future. Provisions for excess inventory are included in cost of goods sold and have historically been adequate to provide for losses on its inventory.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"> The computation of the excess inventory requires management to make certain assumptions regarding future sales growth, product mix, new products, cancellation costs, and supply, among others. The Company manages inventory levels and purchase commitments in an effort to maximize utilization of inventory on hand and under commitments. The Company&#x2019;s accounting policy for inventory and purchase commitments is to recognize a loss by establishing a reserve to the extent inventory levels and commitments exceed management&#x2019;s expected future usage.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 18pt"> <b><i>Property, Plant and Equipment</i></b></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt"> Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost.

Upon shipment of beer to Distributors, the Company collects a refundable deposit on the kegs and pallets, which is included in current liabilities in the Company&#x2019;s balance sheets. Upon return of the kegs and pallets to the Company, the deposit is refunded to the Distributor.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"> The Company has experienced some loss of kegs and pallets and anticipates that some loss will occur in future periods due to the significant volume of kegs and pallets handled by each Distributor and retailer, the homogeneous nature of kegs and pallets owned by most brewers and the relatively small deposit collected for each keg when compared with its market value. The Company believes that this is an industry-wide issue and that the Company&#x2019;s loss experience is not atypical. The Company believes that the loss of kegs and pallets, after considering the forfeiture of related deposits, has not been material to the financial statements. In 2010, the Company began estimating the physical count of kegs and pallets held by certain of its larger Distributors and the forfeited deposits attributable to lost kegs and pallets. The Company uses internal records, records maintained by Distributors, records maintained by other third party vendors and historical information to estimate the physical count of kegs and pallets held by Distributors. These estimates affect the amount recorded as property, plant and equipment and current liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. The actual liability for refundable deposits could differ from these estimates. For the year ended December&#xA0;27, 2014, the Company decreased its liability for refundable deposits, gross property, plant and equipment and related accumulated depreciation by $1.0 million, $1.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively. For the year ended December&#xA0;28, 2013, the Company decreased its liability for refundable deposits, gross property, plant and equipment and related accumulated depreciation by $0.2 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of December&#xA0;27, 2014 and December&#xA0;28, 2013, the Company&#x2019;s balance sheet includes $18.2 million and $17.9 million, respectively, in refundable deposits on kegs and pallets and $25.9 million and $18.7 million, respectively, in kegs, net of accumulated depreciation.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 1px; MARGIN-TOP: 18px"> &#xA0;</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 0pt"> <b><i>Goodwill</i></b></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt"> Goodwill is comprised of three items. It includes the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired of (i)&#xA0;the Company-owned brewery in Cincinnati, Ohio (the &#x201C;Cincinnati Brewery&#x201D;) upon the completion of the acquisition in November 2000, (ii)&#xA0;substantially all of the assets of Southern California Brewing Company, Inc., d/b/a Angel City Brewing Company acquired by the Company in the first quarter of 2012, (iii)&#xA0;substantially all of the assets of the Coney Island business and certain other assets from Shmaltz Brewing Company acquired by the Company in the third quarter of 2013. The Company does not amortize goodwill, but evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by comparing the carrying value and the fair value of its operating segments at the end of the third quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. The Company has concluded that its goodwill was not impaired as of December&#xA0;27, 2014 and December&#xA0;28, 2013. As of December&#xA0;27, 2014 and December&#xA0;28, 2013, the goodwill of the Boston Beer Company operating segment amounted to $1.4 million. As of December&#xA0;27, 2014 and December&#xA0;28, 2013 the goodwill of the A&amp;S Brewing Collaborative operating segment amounted to $2.3 million.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 18pt"> <b><i>Long-lived Assets</i></b></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt"> Long-lived assets are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. For purposes of determining whether there are any impairment losses, as further discussed below, management has historically examined the carrying value of the Company&#x2019;s identifiable long-lived assets, including their useful lives, when indicators of impairment are present. For all long-lived assets, if an impairment loss is identified based on the fair value of the asset, as compared to the carrying value of the asset, such a loss would be charged to expense in the period the impairment is identified. Furthermore, if the review of the carrying values of the long-lived assets indicates impairment of such assets, the Company may determine that shorter estimated useful lives are more appropriate. In that event, the Company will be required to record additional depreciation in future periods, which will reduce earnings.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"> Factors generally considered important which could trigger an impairment review on the carrying value of long-lived assets include the following: (1)&#xA0;significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; (2)&#xA0;significant changes in the manner of use of acquired assets or the strategy for the Company&#x2019;s overall business; (3)&#xA0;underutilization of assets; and (4)&#xA0;discontinuance of products by the Company or its customers.

This results in differences between the book and tax bases of the Company&#x2019;s assets and liabilities and carryforwards, such as tax credits. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events, other than enactment of changes in the tax laws or rates, are generally considered. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent deemed necessary when realization of deferred tax assets appears unlikely.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"> The calculation of the Company&#x2019;s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in several different state tax jurisdictions. The Company is periodically reviewed by tax authorities regarding the amount of taxes due. These reviews include inquiries regarding the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. In accordance with ASC Topic 740, <i>Income Taxes</i>, the Company records estimated reserves for exposures associated with positions that it takes on its income tax returns in accordance with that standard.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 1px; MARGIN-TOP: 18px"> &#xA0;</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 0pt"> <b><i>Excise Taxes</i></b></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt"> The Company is responsible for compliance with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau of the U.S. Treasury Department (the &#x201C;TTB&#x201D;) regulations which includes making timely and accurate excise tax payments.

The Company recognizes revenue on product sales at the time when the product is shipped and the following conditions are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title has passed to the customer according to the shipping terms, the price is fixed and determinable, and collection of the sales proceeds is reasonably assured. If the conditions for revenue recognition are not met, the Company defers the revenue until all conditions are met. As of December&#xA0;27, 2014 and December&#xA0;28, 2013, the Company has deferred $6.0 million and $8.4 million, in revenue related to product shipped prior to these dates. These amounts are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"> In certain circumstances and with the Company&#x2019;s approval, the Company accepts and destroys stale beer that is returned by Distributors. The Company generally credits approximately fifty percent of the distributor&#x2019;s cost of the beer that has passed its expiration date for freshness when it is returned to the Company or destroyed. The Company reduces revenue and establishes an accrual based upon both historical returns, which is applied to an estimated lag time for receipt of product, and knowledge of specific return transactions. Stale beer expense is reflected in the accompanying financial statements as a reduction of revenue; however, the actual stale beer expense incurred by the Company could differ from the estimated accrual.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 18pt"> <b><i>Cost of Goods Sold</i></b></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt"> The following expenses are included in cost of goods sold: raw material costs, packaging costs, costs and income related to deposit activity, purchasing and receiving costs, manufacturing labor and overhead, brewing and processing costs, inspection costs relating to quality control, inbound freight charges, depreciation expense related to manufacturing equipment and warehousing costs, which include rent, labor and overhead costs.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 18pt"> <b><i>Shipping Costs</i></b></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt"> Costs incurred for the shipping of products to customers are included in advertising, promotional and selling expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

The reimbursements for discounts to Distributors are recorded as reductions to net revenue. Agreed-upon discount rates are applied to certain Distributors&#x2019; sales to retailers, based on volume metrics, in order to determine the total discounted amount. The computation of the discount allowance requires that management make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the timing and amounts of revenue and liabilities recorded.

The exercise price is determined by multiplying $42.00 by the aggregate change in the DJ Wilshire 5000 Index from and after January&#xA0;1, 2008 through the close of business on the trading date next preceding each date on which the option is exercised. The exercise price will not be less than $37.65 per share and the excess of the fair value of the Company&#x2019;s Class&#xA0;A Common Stock cannot exceed $70 per share over the exercise price. At December&#xA0;27, 2014 and December&#xA0;28, 2013, 603,092 shares and 753,864 shares of the stock option remained outstanding, respectively. If the outstanding shares at December&#xA0;27, 2014 were exercised on that date, the exercise price would have been $225.74 per share. If the outstanding shares at December&#xA0;28, 2013 were exercised on that date, the exercise price would have been $172.10 per share. Reflected in the table above is the minimum exercise price of $37.65. The Company is accounting for this award as a market-based award which was valued utilizing the Monte Carlo Simulation pricing model, which calculates multiple potential outcomes for an award and establishes fair value based on the most likely outcome. Under the Monte Carlo Simulation pricing model, the Company calculated the weighted average fair value per share to be $8.41, and recorded stock-based compensation expense of $0.7, $1.0, and $0.8, million related to this option in the fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px;

Under this update, an entity is required to recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. As such, an entity will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. This update to ASC 606 should be applied retrospectively either to each prior reporting period presented in the financial statements, or only to the most current reporting period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative effect adjustment in the retained earnings. This update to ASC 606 becomes effective and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. Early adoption is not permitted.

The defined benefit is determined based on years of service since July 1991. The Company made contributions of $162,000 in 2014 and no contributions in 2013. At December&#xA0;27, 2014 and December&#xA0;28, 2013, the unfunded projected pension benefits were not material to the Company&#x2019;s financial statements.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"> The Company provides a supplement to eligible retirees from Local #20, Local #1 and Local Union #1199 to assist them with the cost of Medicare gap coverage after their retirement on account of age or permanent disability. To qualify for this benefit (collectively, the &#x201C;Retiree Medical Plan&#x201D;), an employee must have worked for at least 20 years for the Company or its predecessor at the Company&#x2019;s Cincinnati Brewery, must have been enrolled in the Company&#x2019;s comprehensive medical plan for at least 5 years before retirement and, in the case of retirees from Local #20, for at least 7 of the last 10 years of their employment, and must be eligible for Medicare benefits under the Social Security Act. The accumulated <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">post-retirement</font> benefit obligation was determined using a discount rate of 4.0% at December&#xA0;27, 2014 and 5.0% at December&#xA0;28, 2013 respectively, and a 2.5% health care cost increase based on the Cincinnati Consumer Price Index for the years 2014, 2013 and 2012. The effect of a 1% point increase and the effect of a 1% point decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rates on the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic post-retirement health care benefit costs and the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation for health care benefits would not be significant.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"> In addition, the comprehensive medical plans offered to currently employed members of Local&#xA0;#20 and Local Union #1199 remain available to them should they retire after reaching age 57 (and before reaching age 65 in the case of a member of Local #20) with at least 20 years of service (if a Local #20 member) or 10 years of employment (if a Local Union #1199 member) with the Company or its predecessor at the Company&#x2019;s Cincinnati Brewery. These eligible retirees may choose to continue to be covered under the Company&#x2019;s comprehensive medical plan, subject to certain modifications applicable to members of Local Union #1199, until they reach the age when they are eligible for Medicare under the Social Security Act or (in the case of a Local #20 member) coverage under a comparable State health benefit plan.

Stock Compensation</i> (&#x201C;ASC 718&#x201D;), which generally requires recognition of share-based compensation costs in financial statements based on fair value. Compensation cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award (the requisite service period). The amount of compensation cost recognized in the consolidated statements of income is based on the awards ultimately expected to vest, and therefore, reduced for estimated forfeitures.</p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"> As permitted by ASC 718, the Company elected to use a lattice model, such as the binomial option-pricing model, to estimate the fair values of stock options, with the exception of the 2008 stock option grant to the Company&#x2019;s Chief Executive Officer, which is considered to be a market-based award and was valued utilizing the Monte Carlo Simulation pricing model, which calculates multiple potential outcomes for an award and establishes fair value based on the most likely outcome.

All kegs and pallets are owned by the Company. Kegs are reflected in the Company&#x2019;s balance sheets at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the keg, while pallets are expensed upon purchase. Upon shipment of beer to Distributors, the Company collects a refundable deposit on the kegs and pallets, which is included in current liabilities in the Company&#x2019;s balance sheets. Upon return of the kegs and pallets to the Company, the deposit is refunded to the Distributor.</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"> The Company has experienced some loss of kegs and pallets and anticipates that some loss will occur in future periods due to the significant volume of kegs and pallets handled by each Distributor and retailer, the homogeneous nature of kegs and pallets owned by most brewers and the relatively small deposit collected for each keg when compared with its market value. The Company believes that this is an industry-wide issue and that the Company&#x2019;s loss experience is not atypical. The Company believes that the loss of kegs and pallets, after considering the forfeiture of related deposits, has not been material to the financial statements. In 2010, the Company began estimating the physical count of kegs and pallets held by certain of its larger Distributors and the forfeited deposits attributable to lost kegs and pallets. The Company uses internal records, records maintained by Distributors, records maintained by other third party vendors and historical information to estimate the physical count of kegs and pallets held by Distributors. These estimates affect the amount recorded as property, plant and equipment and current liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. The actual liability for refundable deposits could differ from these estimates. For the year ended December&#xA0;27, 2014, the Company decreased its liability for refundable deposits, gross property, plant and equipment and related accumulated depreciation by $1.0 million, $1.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively. For the year ended December&#xA0;28, 2013, the Company decreased its liability for refundable deposits, gross property, plant and equipment and related accumulated depreciation by $0.2 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of December&#xA0;27, 2014 and December&#xA0;28, 2013, the Company&#x2019;s balance sheet includes $18.2 million and $17.9 million, respectively, in refundable deposits on kegs and pallets and $25.9 million and $18.7 million, respectively, in kegs, net of accumulated depreciation.</p> </div> 13041000 0 <div> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt"> The Company maintains reserves against accounts receivable for doubtful accounts and inventory for obsolete and slow-moving inventory.

The Company makes these payments to customers and incurs these costs to promote sales of products and to maintain competitive pricing. Amounts paid in connection with customer programs and incentives are recorded as reductions to net revenue or as advertising, promotional and selling expenses in accordance with ASC Topic 605-50, <i>Revenue Recognition &#x2014; Customer Payments and Incentives,</i> based on the nature of the expenditure. Amounts paid to customers totaled $52.4 million, $40.4 million and $28.1 million in fiscal year 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.</p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"> Customer promotional discount programs are entered into with Distributors for certain periods of time. Amounts paid to Distributors in connection with these programs in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $28.5 million, $23.1 million, and $19.5 million, respectively. The reimbursements for discounts to Distributors are recorded as reductions to net revenue. Agreed-upon discount rates are applied to certain Distributors&#x2019; sales to retailers, based on volume metrics, in order to determine the total discounted amount. The computation of the discount allowance requires that management make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the timing and amounts of revenue and liabilities recorded. Actual promotional discounts owed and paid have historically been in line with allowances recorded by the Company, however, the amounts could differ from the estimated allowance.</p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"> Customer incentives and other payments are made primarily to Distributors based upon performance of certain marketing and advertising activities. Depending on applicable state laws and regulations, these activities promoting the Company&#x2019;s products may include, but are not limited to point-of-sale and merchandise placement, samples, product displays, promotional programs at retail locations and meals, travel and entertainment. Amounts paid to customers in connection with these programs in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $23.9&#xA0;million, $17.3 million, and $8.6 million, respectively. In 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded certain of these costs in the total amount of $18.7 million, $13.4 million and $6.3 million respectively as reductions to net revenue.
