Notes to Financial Statements
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of National Beverage Corp. and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes presented in the annual consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 2, 2015. The accounting policies used in these interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the annual consolidated financial statements. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results which might be expected for the entire fiscal year. Derivative Financial Instruments We use derivative financial instruments to partially mitigate our exposure to changes in raw material costs. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments is calculated based on market rates to settle the instruments. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Credit risk related to derivative financial instruments is managed by requiring high credit standards for counterparties and frequent cash settlements. See Note 5. Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated in a similar manner, but includes the dilutive effect of stock options. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market. Inventories at January 30, 2016 are comprised of finished goods of $25.1 million and raw materials of $19.2 million. Inventories at May 2, 2015 are comprised of finished goods of $24.9 million and raw materials of $18 million.

Debt Disclosure [Text Block]	3 . DEBT At January 30, 2016, a subsidiary of the Company maintained unsecured revolving credit facilities with banks aggregating $100 million (the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Facilities expire from October 10, 2017 to June 18, 2018 and, currently, any borrowings would bear interest at .9% above one-month LIBOR. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facilities at January 30, 2016 and $10 million was outstanding at May 2, 2015. At January 30, 2016, $2.2 million of the Credit Facilities were reserved for standby letters of credit and $97.8 million were available for borrowings. The Credit Facilities require the subsidiary to maintain certain financial ratios, including debt to net worth and debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facilities), and contain other restrictions, none of which are expected to have a material effect on our operations or financial position. At January 30, 2016, we were in compliance with all loan covenants.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]	5 . DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS From time to time, we enter into aluminum swap contracts to partially mitigate our exposure to changes in the cost of aluminum cans. Such financial instruments are designated and accounted for as a cash flow hedge. Accordingly, gains or losses attributable to the effective portion of the cash flow hedge are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings through cost of sales in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of our cash flow hedges were immaterial. The following summarizes the gains (losses) recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and AOCI relative to cash flow hedges for the three and nine months ended January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015: (In thousands) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2016 2015 2016 2015 Recognized in AOCI: Gain (loss) before income taxes $ 620 $ (1,096 ) $ (6,444 ) $ 152 Less income tax provision (benefit) 230 (407 ) (2,391 ) 56 Net $ 390 $ (689 ) $ (4,053 ) $ 96 Reclassified from AOCI to cost of sales: (Loss) gain before income taxes $ (2,171 ) $ 249 $ (6,008 ) $ 526 Less income tax (benefit) provision (806 ) 92 (2,229 ) 195 Net $ (1,365 ) $ 157 $ (3,779 ) $ 331 Net change to AOCI $ 1,755 $ (846 ) $ (274 ) $ (235 ) As of January 30, 2016, the notional amount of our outstanding aluminum swap contracts was $18.6 million and, assuming no change in the commodity prices, $4.2 million of unrealized loss before tax will be reclassified from AOCI and recognized in earnings over the next twelve months. See Note 1. As of January 30, 2016 and May 2, 2015, the fair value of the derivative liability was $4.2 million and $3 million, respectively, which was included in accrued liabilities. At May 2, 2015, the fair value of the derivative long-term liability was $751,000, which was included in other liabilities. Such valuation does not entail a significant amount of judgment and the inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement are Level 2 as defined by the fair value hierarchy as they are observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block]	6 . NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016 -02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016 -02”). ASU 2016-02 requires the lease rights and obligations arising from lease contracts, including existing and new arrangements, to be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for our fiscal year beginning April 28, 2019 . We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 requires companies to classify all deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for our fiscal year beginning April 30, 2017. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-16, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity” (“ASU 2014-16”). The amendments in ASU 2014-16 do not change the current criteria for determining when separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument is required. Rather, ASU 2014-16 clarifies how current U.S. GAAP should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. ASU 2014-16 is effective for our fiscal year beginning May 1, 2016. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for goods or services. On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year and is effective for our fiscal year beginning April 29, 2018. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	7 . COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES As of January 30, 2016, we guaranteed the residual value of certain leased equipment in the amount of $4.5 million. If the proceeds from the sale of such equipment are less than the balance required by the lease when the lease terminates on August 1, 2017, the Company shall be required to pay the difference up to such guaranteed amount. The Company expects to have no loss on such guarantee.
