I've recently had to stop drinking

I've recently had to stop drinking, and subsequently I cancelled my subscription. Christian was professional, friendly and understanding throughout the duration of the call. Thank you.

Friendly and helpful staff

Staff were very helpful in guiding me how to activate my gift card. I am very particular in what type of beer I drink and while some of the beer e.g. Mekkeller Hazel Stout was very good, their Mango beer didn't agree with me at all. It is inevitable that there will be some beer we will not like, but the service was good and fast and staff were also friendly and helpful when I cancelled my subscription.

Scam

This company makes it impossible to cancel, I sent it as a present to someone else and they say I cannot cancel because it's under someone else's name even though it's on my card!

Hi Jared. Thank you for your review. If you were calling to cancel the subscription set up in another person's name. Our agent was following our company policies in line with GDPR and was gently advising you of these policies and the alternatives you could take in order to cancel the subscription.

In order for us to proceed in any way we would the account holder to contact us directly from the email address on the account. They can either grant permission in that email for us to liaise with you over this matter or we can deal directly with the account holder through their direct email. Alternatively, the named account holder can call us on 0131 285 2684.

Thanks Beer52

Generally good service and some nice beers. Cancellation is hard work with button hidden, needing many clicks to bypass "sales" attempts and then needing to make a call at the end where more "sales" attempts are tried.

So annoying

Make you phone them to cancel with a long waiting time. So annoying. I would have never taken the introductory offer if I knew they would waste my time on hold on the phone to them.

The advisor in the phone was such a big support and help and was very friendly and resolved my issue. I would 100% recommend this company. Shame I am having to cancel my subscription for the time being but will definitely be coming back for sure!

Horrible experience i order once on a non subscription based transaction, they signed me up to monthly subscription without my knowledge or consent. According to “terms” if you order with a voucher you immediately get signed up, no confirmation email of subscription, no notification about payment coming out soon.. just stole my money and then refused to refund me despite me literally not ordering from them. Horrible customer service and took 15 mins on hold to even talk to someone because they wont let you unsubscribe from the website

Out of Date Beer

Out of Date Beer

Was offered a refund of £1.61 for the awful tasting out of date beer. They said I did not have enough evidence as I binned most of them and only had pictures of half of the box of cans. Some were dated October 2025 and made me feel sick. Do not buy from beer 52, go to your local can shop instead.

Hi Shauna. Thank you for your review. We are sorr for this issues. Unfortunately, pictures are an absolute requirement for us to be able to submit a compensation claim, as well as for us to investigate the matter and prevent it from re-occurring. Even if all you have are the empty containers, please do send me some pictures as I will ​not be authorised to offer further compensation without adequate evidence of the issues you've reported.

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service
Can't cancel online, must be done via phone call
When calling the cancellation/customer service number i was first hung up on, then when calling back I spoke to someone who took my email address and then left me in silence for 20 minutes before the call was again disconnected
They make it impossible to cancel
I have sent several emails trying yo get a response to yet no avail
This is not very accessible and is disappointing customer service

I enjoyed the product and wanted to try it with my discount offer for one box, and them if and when I was able to afford the subscription I would sign up again

However, after the difficulty with customer service, despite enjoying the product, I will not be rejoining
