Organization and Basis of Presentation	A. Organization and Basis of Presentation The Boston Beer Company, Inc. and certain subsidiaries (the “Company”) are engaged in the business of selling alcohol beverages throughout the United States and in selected international markets, under the trade names “The Boston Beer Company®”, “Twisted Tea Brewing Company®”, “Hard Seltzer Beverage Company”, “Angry Orchard® Cider Company”, “Dogfish Head® Craft Brewery”, “Dogfish Head® Craft Distillery”, “Angel City® Brewing Company”, “Coney Island® Brewing Company” and “American Fermentation Company”. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 26, 2021, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 26, 2021 and the results of its condensed consolidated operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. Among the reclassifications is the separate presentation of third-party production prepayments.

COVID-19 Pandemic

Covid Nineteen Pandemic [Abstract]
COVID-19 Pandemic	B. As the COVID-19 pandemic slowly winds down, the Company’s primary focus continues to be on operating its breweries and business safely and working hard to meet customer demand. The Company is very proud of the passion, creativity and commitment to community that coworkers demonstrated during this pandemic. The Company began seeing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business in early March 2020. The direct financial impact of the pandemic primarily included significantly reduced keg demand from the on-premise channel and higher labor and safety-related costs at the Company’s breweries. In addition to these direct financial impacts, COVID-19 related safety measures resulted in a reduction of brewery productivity. This has shifted more volume to third-party breweries, which increased production costs and negatively impacted gross margin rates. In the first half of 2020, the Company recorded COVID-19 related pre-tax reductions in net revenue and increases in other costs that total $14.1 million of which $10.0 million was recorded in the first quarter and $4.1 million was recorded in the second quarter. The total amount consists of a $5.8 million reduction in net revenue for estimated keg returns from distributors and retailers and $8.3 million for inventory write-downs for obsolescence, increased costs for health and safety, increased salaries and benefits and other COVID-19 related direct costs, of which $5.6 million are recorded in cost of goods sold and $2.7 million are recorded in operating expenses. In 2021 and going forward, the Company will not report COVID-19 related direct costs separately as they are viewed to be a normal part of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Disaggregation Of Revenue [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	E. During the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, approximately 95% of the Company’s revenue was from shipments of its products to domestic distributors, 4% from shipments to international distributors, primarily located in Canada, and less than 1% was from retail beer, cider, and merchandise sales at the Company’s retail locations. 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 June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020, the Company has deferred $17.7 million and $13.9 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 $18.4 million and $41.8 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, respectively, and were $20.4 million and $28.6 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020, 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 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. 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 revenue or as advertising, promotional and selling expenses for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021 were $13.2 million and $23.3 million, respectively. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021 the Company recorded certain of these costs in the total amounts of $10.9 million and $20.1 million, respectively, as reductions to net revenue. Amounts paid to customers in connection with these programs for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020 were $5.0 million and $9.5 million, respectively. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020, the Company recorded certain of these costs in the total amount of $4.8 million and $9.0 million, respectively 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 expenses include point of sale materials, samples and media advertising expenditures in local markets. These costs are recorded as incurred, generally when invoices are received; however certain estimates are required at the period end. Estimates are based on historical and projected experience for each type of program or customer and have historically been in line with actual costs incurred.

Third Party Production Prepayments	G. During the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, the Company brewed and packaged approximately 54% 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 payments for capital improvements at these third-party brewing facilities that it expenses over the period of the contracts. As of June 2 6 , 2021, and December 26, 2020 total third-party production prepayments were as follows: June 26, 2021 December 26, 2020 (in thousands) Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ - $ 14,816 Third-party production prepayments 88,683 56,843 Total third-party production prepayments $ 88,683 $ 71,659 Effective March 27, 2021, the Company began classifying third-party production prepayments solely as non-current assets and reclassed the $14.8 million of third-party production prepayments at December 26, 2020 from current assets to non-current assets. The Company will expense the total prepaid amount of $88.7 million as a component of cost of goods sold over the contractual period ending December 31, 2025. During the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, the Company entered into a master transaction agreement with one of its existing brewing services providers to ensure access to capacity at a new location and continued access at certain existing locations. Upon the closing of the purchase of the new location by the third-party brewing services provider, the agreement became effective during the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021. As part of the master transaction agreement, the Company paid $10.0 million for capital improvements for the new location, which is included within the third-party production prepayments balance as of June 26, 2021. The Company is required to pay an additional $17.9 million to ensure access to capacity once certain conditions are met. The agreement additionally includes monthly shortfall fees beginning January 1, 2023. During the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021, as a result of lower than anticipated demand for certain Truly brand styles and packages, the Company adjusted its volume plans for production at certain third-party facilities. This adjustment is expected to result in shortfall fees related to one facility of $0.6 million of which has been expensed during the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021. Based on current production volume projections, the Company believes that it will meet all other future annual volume commitments under its third party production arrangements and will not incur any additional shortfall fees. If future volume projections are further reduced-below the minimum annual volume commitments and the Company estimates that shortfall fees will be incurred, the Company will expense the estimated shortfall fees in the period when incurring the shortfall fees becomes probable. As of June 26, 2021, if volume for the remaining term of the production arrangements was zero, the contractual shortfall fees would total $63.4 million through December 31, 2026.

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 awards at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The investment shares and restricted stock awards generally vest over five years in equal number of shares. The unvested shares participate equally in dividends. See Note N 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 and are forfeitable. Prior to March 1, 2019, the Company granted restricted stock awards, generally vesting over five years in equal number of shares. 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 Twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021 June 27, 2020 June 26, 2021 June 27, 2020 (in thousands, except per share data) (in thousands, except per share data) Net income $ 59,195 $ 60,141 $ 124,760 $ 78,375 Allocation of net income for basic: Class A Common Stock $ 48,710 $ 47,930 $ 102,354 $ 61,612 Class B Common Stock 10,268 11,836 21,893 16,237 Unvested participating shares 217 375 513 526 $ 59,195 $ 60,141 $ 124,760 $ 78,375 Weighted average number of shares for basic: Class A Common Stock 10,108 9,720 10,072 9,572 Class B Common Stock* 2,131 2,400 2,155 2,523 Unvested participating shares 44 76 50 82 12,283 12,196 12,277 12,177 Net income per share for basic: Class A Common Stock $ 4.82 $ 4.93 10.16 $ 6.44 Class B Common Stock $ 4.82 $ 4.93 $ 10.16 $ 6.44 *Change in Class B Common Stock resulted from the conversion of 130,000 shares to Class A Common Stock on November 3, 2020 and 99,983 shares to Class A Common Stock on May 14, 2021 with the ending number of shares reflecting the weighted average for the period. 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. The following table sets forth the computation of diluted net income per share, assuming the conversion of all Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021 and for the thirteen and twenty six weeks ended June 27, 2020: Thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021 June 27, 2020 Earnings to Common Shareholders Common Shares EPS Earnings to Common Shareholders Common Shares EPS (in thousands, except per share data) As reported - basic $ 48,710 10,108 $ 4.82 $ 47,930 9,720 $ 4.93 Add: effect of dilutive potential common shares Share-based awards — 160 — 138 Class B Common Stock 10,268 2,131 11,836 2,400 Net effect of unvested participating shares 217 66 4 — Net income per common share - diluted $ 59,195 12,465 $ 4.75 $ 59,770 12,258 $ 4.88 Twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021 June 27, 2020 Earnings to Common Shareholders Common Shares EPS Earnings to Common Shareholders Common Shares EPS (in thousands, except per share data) As reported - basic $ 102,354 10,072 $ 10.16 $ 61,612 9,572 $ 6.44 Add: effect of dilutive potential common shares Share-based awards — 161 — 126 Class B Common Stock 21,893 2,155 16,237 2,523 Net effect of unvested participating shares 513 73 5 — Net income per common share - diluted $ 124,760 12,461 $ 10.01 $ 77,854 12,221 $ 6.37 During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, in accordance with the treasury stock method, weighted-average stock options to purchase approximately 20,000 and 13,000 shares of Class A Common stock were outstanding but not included in computing dilutive income per common share because their effects were anti-dilutive. In accordance with the two-class method, weighted average stock options to purchase approximately 23,000 and 16,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020 but not included in computing dilutive income per common share because their effects were anti-dilutive. Additionally, performance-based stock awards of approximately 1,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding as of June 26, 2021, but not included in computing diluted income per common share because the performance criteria of these awards were not met as of the end of the reporting period.

Fair Value Measures

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measures	M. Fair Value 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 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, receivables and payables are carried at their cost, which approximates fair value, because of their short-term nature. At June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020, 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 June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $103.0 million and $163.3 million, respectively, including money market funds amounting to $100.7 million and $157.6 million, respectively.
