Revenue Recognition

Disaggregation of Revenue [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	C. Revenue Recognition During the thir ty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, approximately 94 % of the Company’s revenue was from shipments of its products to domestic distributors. Shipments to international distributors, primarily located in Canada, made up approximately 5 % and 4 % of the Company's revenue for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024 and September, 2023, respectively. Approximately 1 % and 2 % of the Company's revenue was from beer, cider, and merchandise sales at the Company’s retail locations during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with its customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of its products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring products. If the conditions for revenue recognition are not met, the Company defers the revenue until all conditions are met. As of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company has deferred $ 17.3 million and $ 8.9 million, respectively, in revenue related to product shipped prior to these dates. These amounts are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Customer promotional discount programs are entered into by the Company with distributors for certain periods of time. The reimbursements for discounts to distributors are recorded as reductions to net revenue and were $ 20.1 million and $ 50.4 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024, respectively, and $ 18.6 million and $ 52.8 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The agreed-upon discount rates are applied to certain distributors' sales to retailers, based on volume metrics, in order to determine the total discounted amount. The computation of the dis count 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. Customer programs and incentives are a common practice in the alcohol beverage industry. Amounts paid in connection with customer programs and incentives are recorded as reductions to net revenue or as advertising, promotional and selling expenses, based on the nature of the expenditure. Customer incentives and other payments made to distributors are primarily based upon performance of certain marketing and advertising activities. Depending on applicable state laws and regulations, these activities promoting the Company'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 that were recorded as reductions to net revenue or as advertising, promotional and selling expenses for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024 were $ 14.4 million and $ 37.4 million, respectively. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024, the Company recorded $ 9.1 million and $ 22.8 milli on, respectively, of these costs as reductions to net revenue. Amounts paid to customers in connection with these programs for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023 were $ 11.0 million and $ 32.0 million, respectively. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $ 8.3 million and $ 23.1 million, respectively, of these costs as reductions to net revenue. Costs recognized in net revenues include, but are not limited to, promotional discounts, sales incentives and certain other promotional activities. Costs recognized in advertising, promotional and selling exp enses include point of sale materials, samples and advertising expenditures in local markets.

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]
Inventories	D. Inventories Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods which are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out basis, or net realizable value. Raw materials principally consist of hops, malt, flavorings, fruit juices, other brewing materials and packaging. The Company’s goal is to maintain on hand a supply of at least one year for essential hop varieties, in order to limit the risk of an unexpected reduction in supply. Inventories are generally classified as current assets. The Company classifies hops inventory in excess of two years of forecasted usage in other long-term assets. The cost elements of work in process and finished goods inventory consist of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventories consist of the following: September 28, December 30, (in thousands) Current inventory: Raw materials $ 58,444 $ 55,116 Work in process 21,527 18,750 Finished goods 80,351 41,907 Total current inventory 160,322 115,773 Long term inventory 9,968 14,369 Total inventory $ 170,290 $ 130,142 As of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company has recorded inventory obsolescence reserves of $ 13.6 million a nd $ 7.6 million, respectively.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	E. Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company has recorded intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill for which impairment testing is required at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that these assets might be impaired. The Company performs its annual impairment tests and re-evaluates the useful lives of other intangible assets with indefinite lives at the annual impairment test measurement date in the third quarter of each fiscal year or when circumstances arise that indicate a possible impairment or change in useful life might exist. Goodwill. The guidance for goodwill impairment testing allows an entity to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit, of which the Company has one, is less than its carrying amount or to proceed directly to performing a quantitative impairment test. Under the quantitative assessment, the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is compared to its carrying value, including goodwill. The estimate of fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is generally calculated based on an income approach using the discounted cash flow method supplemented by the market approach which considers the Company’s market capitalization and enterprise value. If the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than the carrying value of its reporting unit, a goodwill impairment will be recognized. In estimating the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit, management must make assumptions and projections regarding such items as future cash flows, future revenues, future earnings, cost of capital, and other factors. The assumptions used in the estimate of fair value are based on historical trends and the projections and assumptions that are used in the latest operating plans. These assumptions reflect management’s estimates of future economic and competitive conditions and are, therefore, subject to change as a result of changing market conditions. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to recognize an impairment loss for the Company’s goodwill which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial statements. No impairment of goodwill was recorded in any period. Intangible assets. The Company’s intangible assets consist primarily of a trademark and customer relationships obtained through the Company’s Dogfish Head acquisition. Customer relationships are amortized over their estimated useful lives. As of the September 28, 2024, the Dogfish Head trademark which was determined to have an indefinite useful life was not amortized. The guidance for indefinite lived intangible asset impairment testing allows an entity to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite lived intangible asset is impaired or to proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. Under the quantitative assessment, the trademark is evaluated for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the trademark to its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the trademark is calculated based on an income approach using the relief from royalty method. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value of the trademark, then an impairment charge is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the trademark to its estimated fair value. The Company's annual impairment testing date is September 1st of each fiscal year. In 2024, this testing resulted in an impairment of the Company's Dogfish Head, Coney Island, and Angel City trademark assets of $ 41.2 million, $ 1.0 million, and $ 0.4 million respectively. In 2023, this testing resulted in an impairment of the Company's Dogfish Head and Coney Island trademark assets of $ 15.8 million and $ 0.6 million, respectively. The Company evaluated the negative trends of the Dogfish Head brand including the brands off-plan performance through the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024, which was attributable to continued sales declines in the brand's beer products, the overall declines in the craft beer industry sector, and lower than forecasted sales in its canned cocktails products due to increased competition. The Company updated its projections for the Dogfish Head brand including the forecasted revenue and royalty rate assumptions utilized in the determination of the fair value of the Dogfish Head trademark which included further reductions in revenues stemming from the foregoing factors as well as a reduction in the royalty rate assumption due to decreased profitability expected to be generated from the trademark. As a result of performing this assessment, the Dogfish Head trademark asset with a carrying value of $ 55.6 million was written down to its estimated fair value of $ 14.4 million. The negative craft beer trends impacting the Company’s Dogfish Head brand have also had a negative impact on the Company’s Coney Island and Angel City trademark assets. The Coney Island trademark asset with a carrying value of $ 1.0 million was written down to zero and the Angel City trademark asset with a carrying value of $ 0.4 million was written down to zero , resulting in a total impairment of $ 42.6 million which was recorded during the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024. The Company’s intangible assets as of September 28 , 2024 and December 30, 2023 were as follows: As of September 28, 2024 As of September 28, 2024 As of December 30, 2023 Estimated Gross Accumulated Net Book Gross Accumulated Net Book Life (Years) Value Amortization Value Value Amortization Value (in thousands) Trademarks Indefinite $ 14,400 $ — $ 14,400 $ 56,984 $ — $ 56,984 Customer relationships 15 3,800 ( 1,330 ) 2,470 3,800 ( 1,140 ) 2,660 Total intangible assets, net $ 18,200 $ ( 1,330 ) $ 16,870 $ 60,784 $ ( 1,140 ) $ 59,644 Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company will change the indefinite useful life Dogfish Head trademark asset and begin amortizing the remaining $ 14.4 million balance over an estimated useful life of 10 years. Amortization expense in the thirte en and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024 was approximately $ 63,000 and $ 189,000 , respectively. The Company expects to record future amortization expense, including the amortization of the remaining Dogfish Head trademark asset, as follows: Fiscal Year Amount (in thousands) Remainder of 2024 $ 423 2025 1,693 2026 1,693 2027 1,693 2028 1,693 2029 1,693 Thereafter 7,982 Total amortization expense $ 16,870

Deferred Costs, Capitalized, Prepaid, and Other Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Third-Party Production Prepayments	F. Third-Party Production Prepayments During the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company brewed and packaged approximately 68 % and 69 %, respectively, of its volume at Company-owned breweries. 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 generally supplies raw materials and packaging to those brewing companies and incurs conversion fees for labor at the time the liquid is produced and packaged. The Company has made up-front payments that were used for capital improvements at these third-party production facilities that it expenses over the period of the contracts. Under these production arrangements, there are minimum production quantities and the Company is obligated to pay shortfall fees for production quantity below those thresholds . Total third-party production prepayments were $ 18.0 million and $ 33.6 million as of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively, all of which for both periods relate to its master transaction agreement with City Brewing Company, LLC ("City Brewing"). The Company will expense the total prepaid amount of $ 18.0 million as of September 28, 2024 as a component of cost of goods sold over the contractual period ending December 31, 2025. At current production volume projections, the Company believes that it will fall short of its future annual volume commitments at certain third-party production facilities and will incur shortfall fees. The Company expenses the shortfall fees during the contractual period when such fees are incurred as a component of cost of goods sold. During the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024, the Company incurred $ 0.6 million and $ 4.7 million, respectively, in shortfall fees. During the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $ 0.5 million and $ 4.6 million, respectively, in shortfall fees. As of September 28, 2024, if volume for the remaining term of the production arrangements was zero, the contractual shortfall fees, with advance notice as specified in the related contractual agreements, would total approximately $ 101 million over the duration of the contracts which have expiration dates through December 31, 2031. The Company has regular discussions with its third-party production suppliers related to its future capacity needs and the terms of its contracts. Changes to volume estimates, future amendments or cancellations of existing contracts could accelerate or change total shortfall fees expected to be incurred. At current volume projections and based on understandings reached with these third-party production facilities, the Company anticipates that it will recognize approximately $ 41 million of shortfall fees and expects to record those expenses as follows : Expected Shortfall Fees to be Incurred (in millions) Remainder of 2024 $ 9 2025 14 2026 3 2027 3 2028 3 2029 3 Thereafter 6 Total shortfall fees expected to be incurred $ 41

Receivables [Abstract]
Note Receivable	G. Note Receivable The Company and City Brewing entered into a Loan and Security agreement on January 2, 2024 at which time payment of $ 20 million was made by the Company to City Brewing. Repayment of the note receivable plus an agreed investment return for a combined total of $ 22.4 million shall be credited to the Company through reductions of shortfall fees, subject to annual repayment limits and through other payments or credits, should owed shortfall fees be lower than these annual repayment limits. The annual repayment limits are $ 3.0 million in 2024, $ 7.5 million in 2025 and $ 10.0 million in 2026 and thereafter. The final maturity date of the loan is December 31, 2028 . The Company determined the fair value of the note receivable on the issuance date to be $ 18.6 million. The $ 1.4 million difference between the cash paid to City Brewing of $ 20.0 million and the fair value of the note of $ 18.6 million on issuance date has been recorded as a third-party production prepayment asset and will be recognized as a component of cost of goods sold over the term of the third-party production arrangement. The unamortized balance was $ 1.0 million as of September 28, 2024. Interest income on the note receivable is being recognized over the term of the loan, which is to be repaid in full no later than December 31, 2028 . The Company received $ 3.0 million repayment during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2024, of which $ 2.4 million was applied to principal and the remaining $ 0.6 million applied to interest. As of September 28, 2024 the Company had $ 16.6 million fair value remaining on the note receivable.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income per Share	H. Net Income per Share The Company calculates net income per share using the two-class method, which requires the Company to allocate net income to its Class A Common Shares, Class B Common Shares and unvested share-based payment awards that participate in dividends with common stock, in the calculation of net income per share. The Class A Common Stock has no voting rights, except (1) as required by law, (2) for the election of Class A Directors, and (3) that the approval of the holders of the Class A Common Stock is required for (a) certain future authorizations or issuances of additional securities which have rights senior to Class A Common Stock, (b) certain alterations of rights or terms of the Class A or Class B Common Stock as set forth in the Articles of Organization of the Company, (c) other amendments of the Articles of Organization of the Company, (d) certain mergers or consolidations with, or acquisitions of, other entities, and (e) sales or dispositions of any significant portion of the Company’s assets. The Class B Common Stock has full voting rights, including the right to (1) elect a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors and (2) approve all (a) amendments to the Company’s Articles of Organization, (b) mergers or consolidations with, or acquisitions of, other entities, (c) sales or dispositions of any significant portion of the Company’s assets, and (d) equity-based and other executive compensation and other significant corporate matters. The Company’s Class B Common Stock is not listed for trading. Each share of the Class B Common Stock is freely convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock, upon request of the respective Class B holder, and participates equally in dividends. The Company’s unvested share-based payment awards include unvested shares (1) issued under the Company’s investment share program, which permits employees who have been with the Company for at least one year to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock and to purchase those shares at a discount ranging from 20 % to 40 % below market value based on years of employment starting after two years of employment, and (2) awarded as restricted stock units at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The investment shares vest over five years in equal number of shares and the restricted stock units generally vest over four years in equal number of shares. If a dividend is declared, the unvested shares would participate equally. See Note M for a discussion of the current year unvested stock awards and issuances. Included in the computation of net income per diluted common share are dilutive outstanding stock options and restricted stock that are vested or expected to vest. At its discretion, the Board of Directors grants stock options and restricted stock to senior management and certain key employees. The terms of the employee stock options are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant. To date, stock options granted to employees vest over various service periods and/or based on the attainment of certain performance criteria and generally expire after ten years. In December 2018, the Employee Equity Incentive Plan was amended to permit the grant of restricted stock units. The restricted stock units generally vest over four years in equal number of shares. Each restricted stock unit represents an unfunded and unsecured right to receive one share of Class A Stock upon satisfaction of the vesting criteria. The unvested shares participate equally in dividends, if declared, and are forfeitable. The Company also grants stock options to its non-employee directors upon election or re-election to the Board of Directors. The number of option shares granted to non-employee directors is calculated based on a defined formula and these stock options vest immediately upon grant and expire after ten years. Net Income per Common Share - Basic The following table sets forth the computation of basic net income per share using the two-class method: Thirteen weeks ended Thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, September 30, September 28, September 30, (in thousands, except per share data) (in thousands, except per share data) Net income $ 33,514 $ 45,295 $ 98,450 $ 94,374 Allocation of net income for basic: Class A Common Stock $ 27,500 $ 37,542 $ 81,082 $ 78,276 Class B Common Stock 5,933 7,660 17,140 15,908 Unvested participating shares 81 93 228 190 $ 33,514 $ 45,295 $ 98,450 $ 94,374 Weighted average number of shares for basic: Class A Common Stock 9,586 10,135 9,783 10,175 Class B Common Stock 2,068 2,068 2,068 2,068 Unvested participating shares 28 25 27 25 11,682 12,228 11,878 12,268 Net income per share for basic: Class A Common Stock $ 2.87 $ 3.70 $ 8.29 $ 7.69 Class B Common Stock $ 2.87 $ 3.70 $ 8.29 $ 7.69 Net Income per Common Share - Diluted The Company calculates diluted net income per share for common stock using the more dilutive of (1) the treasury stock method, or (2) the two-class method, which assumes the participating securities are not exercised.

Litigation The Company is party to legal proceedings and claims, where significant damages are asserted against it. Given the inherent uncertainty of litigation, it is possible that the Company could incur liabilities as a consequence of these claims, which may or may not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or the results of its operations. The Company accrues loss contingencies if, in the opinion of management and its legal counsel, the risk of loss is probable and the loss can be estimated. Material pending legal proceedings are discussed below. On December 31, 2022, Ardagh Metal Packaging USA Corp. (“Ardagh”) filed an action against the Company alleging, among other things, that the Company had failed to purchase contractual minimum volumes of certain aluminum beverage can containers in 2021 and 2022. The Company denies that it breached the terms of the parties’ contract and intends to defend against the Ardagh claims vigorously. On February 23, 2023 and April 4, 2023, Ardagh and the Company engaged in mediation sessions with a neutral, third-party mediator, but were not able to resolve the matter and the litigation will proceed.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measures	L. Fair Value Measures The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). • Level 1 — Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. • Level 2 — Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. • Level 3 — Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held in money market funds. These money market funds are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The money market funds are invested substantially in United States Treasury and government securities. The Company does not adjust the quoted market price for such financial instruments. Cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are carried at their cost, which approximates fair value, because of their short-term nature. At September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company had money market funds with a “Triple A” rated money market fund. The Company considers the “Triple A” rated money market fund to be a large, highly-rated investment-grade institution. As of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $ 255.6 million and $ 298.5 million, respectively, including money market funds amounting to $ 246.0 million and $ 291.5 million, respectively. Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurement The fair value as of the issuance date of the Company's note receivable is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the fair value was partially derived from publicly quoted inputs of market interest rates for a loan of similar terms, provisions, and maturity. The fair value of the Company's Dogfish Head trademark intangible assets is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because there are no observable inputs of market activity. When performing a quantitative assessment for impairment of the trademark asset, the Company measures the amount of impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying value of the trademark asset exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is determined based on an income approach using the relief from royalty method, which assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of the trademark asset. The cash flow projections the Company uses to estimate the fair value of its Dogfish Head trademark intangible asset involves several assumptions, including (i) projected revenue growth, (ii) an estimated royalty rate, (iii) after-tax royalty savings expected from ownership of the trademark and (iv) a discount rate used to derive the estimated fair value of the trademark asset.
