Segment Results and Concentrations [Abstract]

Segment Results and Concentrations

Note 8.                      Segment Results and Concentrations

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker monitors net sales and gross margins of our Beer Related operations and our Pubs operations. Beer Related operations include the brewing operations and related beer sales of our Widmer Brothers, Redhook, Kona and Omission beer brands. Pubs operations primarily include our pubs, some of which are located adjacent to our Beer Related operations. We do not track operating results beyond the gross margin level or our assets on a segment level.

Net sales, gross profit and gross margin by segment were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31,
2013	Beer Related			Pubs			Total
Net sales	$	31,250		$	5,359		$	36,609
Gross profit	$	8,326		$	617		$	8,943
Gross margin		26.6	%		11.5	%		24.4	%
2012
Net sales	$	33,113		$	5,386		$	38,499
Gross profit	$	10,914		$	793		$	11,707
Gross margin		33.0	%		14.7	%		30.4	%

The segments use many of the same assets. For internal reporting purposes, we do not allocate assets by segment and, therefore, no asset by segment information is provided to our chief operating decision maker.

In preparing this financial information, certain expenses were allocated between the segments based on management estimates, while others were based on specific factors such as headcount. These factors can have a significant impact on the amount of gross profit for each segment. While we believe we have applied a reasonable methodology, assignment of other reasonable cost allocations to each segment could result in materially different segment gross profit.

Sales to wholesalers through the A-B Distributor Agreement represented the following percentage of our Sales:
