Helpful service

Paul was very helpful when I rang with a subscription query. He saved me money which was a very nice suprise! Coffee is pretty good too.

Really great beers and Whiskey. I had a variety of cultural beers delivered which all tasted great. Fraser, was very helpful today as I had further queries about my subscription, and he was able to handle my queries within minutes!

Absolutely appalling experience.

Absolutely appalling experience.

I redeemed what I believed was a voucher through BrightHR, only to discover I’d been signed up to a Beer52 membership costing £52 per month. At no point did I knowingly agree to a recurring paid membership for that amount, and if that had been made clear, I would never have proceeded.

The moment I realised what had happened, I tried to cancel. That’s when the real frustration began. I couldn’t access my account because I wasn’t receiving login emails, and trying to find a straightforward way to cancel felt like an obstacle course. For a company that makes it so easy to sign up, it shouldn’t be this difficult to leave.

I’ve now had to email demanding that my membership is cancelled immediately and that the £52 charge is refunded. Customers should not have to fight to cancel a membership they didn’t realise they were signing up for.

This experience has completely destroyed any trust I had in Beer52. A business should be upfront about recurring memberships and make cancellation simple, not leave customers feeling trapped. I won’t be using them again and would strongly encourage anyone redeeming one of these “vouchers” to read every word before clicking anything.

Hi AB. Thank you for your review. We have arrangements with different online retailers. There is currently no way of entering your card details/ signing up through a different website. When you move from the original retailer's website to our website upon seeing our advert, you are then taken through our standard pages of sign-up flow, just as you would have had you come to us directly. This is where you enter your choices of our product, your personal details, and create your account login wiht your email address and password, something which can only be created by the customer. Once you have made your purchase, you can then log in to your account with the login credentials you created. This is where you can manage your account details, your plan preferences, and also pause your account.

As part of your becoming a member of this exclusive club, the information detailing the subscription element was provided to you at each stage during sign-up. We also sent you our "Welcome to the Club" email immediately after completing your purchase. This email was sent to your registered email address and detailed your next billing date and cost. Additionally, your billing information and renewal date are always accessible at any time through the ‘Manage My Subscription’ section of your online account.

Thanks Beer52

Beers are great

Beers are great. On the phone Jo was friendly, spoke with care, very tempting with the offers but didn't push too hard to the point of being annoying. Overall great experience.

I havesubscibed to Beer 52 for years

I havesubscibed to Beer 52 for years. Now because of a scam attempt my bank, HSBC replaced my credit card and I cannot get Beer 52 to accept my request to accept a change to my new card number despite spending hours on the phone. I have spent three days trying and I have now given up.
All people considering subccribing to Beer 52 do not do so. They are hopeless if you have a problem.

Today I called to cancel my subscription and was greeted by a very pleasant man ( whose name I've have forgotten due to old age) The whole experience was done in a polite and professional manner. He is an asset to the business. Thank you for the giggles which made my day.

Edward very helpful. Good communication. Although Beer is lovely I am not using as much and so called to cancel subscription but I had credits to use towards next subscription. So I’m still getting beer this month!
