You can cancel your automatic renewal when you receive your auto-renewal notice via email and log in to your profile to update your settings or membership type. You can also email info@homebrewersassociation.org for assistance with auto-renewal cancellation at any time.

You may not have received this email if it ended up in your spam folder. Members enrolled in the monthly renewal program will receive confirmation when the membership renews each month.

Membership Costs

No way! If you renew today, your renewal won’t kick in until the month after your current expiration. For example, if you expire on 6/31/X5, but renewed your membership on 2/1/X5, your new expiration date would be 6/30/X6.
