Assets Held for Sale and Sale of Woodinville, Washington Brewery

Assets held for sale at December 31, 2017 represented the assets related to our Woodinville, Washington Brewery, which was designated as held for sale on May 1, 2017. At the end of 2017, a $0.5 million impairment charge was recorded, as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, related to the sale of our Woodinville brewery, which was sold on January 12, 2018 to assignees of Sound Commercial Investment Holdings, LLC, for a total purchase price of $24.5 million (the "Sale Transaction").

The assets that were sold included the real property, equipment, fixtures, mechanical systems, and certain personal property used in our operation of the brewery and adjacent brewpub. We paid real estate brokerage commissions totaling $0.6 million from the sale proceeds and recorded a gain of $0.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 related to the Sale Transaction, which was recorded as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In contemplation of the sale of certain brewing and bottling equipment included in the Sale Transaction, $0.5 million of the total purchase price was placed in escrow following the closing. If the purchaser of the equipment had sold it for less than $3.5 million, the shortfall would have been paid to the purchaser up to the amount held in escrow, with the balance, if any, paid to us. The Woodinville brewing and bottling equipment was sold for more than $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2018 and, accordingly, the $0.5 million in escrow was remitted to us.
