From Alchemy & Science:

On August 26, 2013, A&S Brewing Collaborative LLC, d/b/a Alchemy & Science, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Boston Beer Company, acquired all rights to the Coney Island brand from Shmaltz  Brewing Company, LLC (formerly known as Coney Island Brewing Company, LLC) (“Shmaltz”), as well as some brewery equipment and other assets related to the Coney Island brand.

In connection with the acquisition, A&S has entered into a two-year brewing services agreement with Shmaltz pursuant to which Shmaltz will produce some of the beer to be sold under the Coney Island brand name once certain conditions are met.

Immediately following the closing, Shmaltz will brew and sell Coney Island branded beer in certain markets under license from A&S until A&S obtains its required permits.

In addition, Alchemy & Science  has entered into an agreement with Shmaltz’s founder Jeremy Cowan, pursuant to which Mr. Cowan will advise A&S, as requested, on Coney Island matters, for a period of five years.

Update on pricing from BizJournals:

It’s sure been a busy year for Alan Newman, the president of Alchemy & Science, and his team. Most recently, the company acquired the Coney Island beer brand from the Shmaltz Brewing Co., in a $2.9 million deal on Aug. 26. Alchemy & Science acquired the Angel City brewery in Los Angeles last year, the subsidiary’s first year. The company also launched the Traveler Beer brand last year, as well as the Just Beer project earlier this year. (Just Beer’s first beer, Just IPA, is sold in stores in Western Massachusetts, and locations in eight other states so far.)
