Contractors [Abstract]
Termination of Pabst Agreements	Termination of Pabst Agreements Termination of Agreements with Pabst Effective May 1, 2017, we reached an agreement with Pabst Brewing Company, LLC, and Pabst Northwest Brewing Company, LLC (collectively, "Pabst") to terminate the brewing agreements that provided for brewing selected brands owned by Pabst at our brewery in Woodinville, Washington, through December 31, 2018. In conjunction with the termination of the brewing arrangements, Pabst's option to purchase the Woodinville brewery and adjacent pub pursuant to the Option and Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated as of January 8, 2016 (the "Option Agreement”) was also terminated. Pabst agreed to pay us $2.7 million in connection with the termination of the brewing agreements and Option Agreement. This payment is in addition to the $1.6 million of contract brewing volume shortfall fees for the 2016 calendar year recognized in the fourth quarter of 2016 and $1.7 million related to remaining volume shortfalls for the 2016 - 2017 contract year ended March 31, 2017, recognized in the first quarter of 2017. We have deferred recognition of the termination payment for the brewing agreements and Option Agreement in our Statements of Operations due to our potential obligation to pay Pabst up to $2.7 million if an agreement to sell the brewery to a specified buyer is entered into by December 31, 2017. We are under no obligation to enter into such a sales agreement. Ceasing Production at our Woodinville, Washington Brewery We ceased production at our Woodinville, Washington brewery as of July 1, 2017. As a result, we incurred approximately $250,000 in incremental employee and severance related costs, which was recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Operations during the second quarter of 2017. We expect to incur up to $250,000 in additional expense during the second half of 2017 to safely and properly prepare the brewing equipment to become idle, which will be expensed as incurred. See Note 13 for a discussion of the classification of the assets related to our Woodinville brewery as assets held for sale.
