On August 26, 2013, A&S acquired substantially all of the assets of the Coney Island business (“Coney Island”) and certain other assets from Shmaltz Brewing Company for a preliminary aggregate purchase price of $2.9 million of which $400,000 is being held in escrow to collateralize certain seller indemnification obligations. Costs related to the acquisition of Coney Island were not significant and were expensed as incurred.

The allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in thousands):

Property, plant and equipment	$	110
Trade name		1,648
Goodwill		1,145
Total assets acquired and cash paid	$	2,903

The Company has assigned an indefinite life to the acquired trade name and the related value is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Goodwill resulting from this acquisition is expected to be amortizable for tax purposes. The operating results of Coney Island since the acquisition date are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the acquisition, A&S entered into a personal services agreement with Coney Island’s founder, pursuant to which he will consult with A&S and be available to devote a minimum number of hours per week, if requested, on Coney Island matters for a period of five years. The personal services agreement includes incentive fees for achievement of future volume targets. Minimum payments under the personal services agreement total approximately $0.5 million as of December 28, 2013, are payable through December 31, 2018 and are expensed as incurred.

On January 4, 2012, A&S acquired substantially all of the assets of Southern California Brewing Company, Inc., d/b/a Angel City Brewing Company (“Angel City”) for an aggregate purchase price of $1.9 million.

Property, plant and equipment	$	338
Trade name		401
Goodwill		1,161
