Membership FAQ

Logging In

As the content for each site is different, you must be a Brewers Association (BA) member to log into BrewersAssociation.org. Learn more about the BA Membership Costs and Benefits.

No. American Homebrewers Association (AHA) and Brewers Association (BA) memberships are separate, so you’ll use separate log in credentials for both the AHA and BA websites. To avoid duplicate account issues, it’s best to use a different email for each (for example, a work email for BA and personal email for AHA). Contact the Membership Team if you are experiencing issues.

Membership Automatic Renewal Program

Yes, we currently offer a monthly and yearly automatic renewal option. Lock in early renewal savings by opting-in to the annual automatic renewal program when you join or renew. You may cancel at any time.

Log in to your account. Choose “Your saved payment methods” on the right menu.  You can cancel your auto-payment and/or edit payment information.

By selecting automatic renewals you agree to the American Homebrewers Association terms of use.

Participants in the Membership Automatic Renewal Program receive a reminder email two weeks prior to renewal and on transaction day. You may not have received this email if you’ve opted out. If you have unsubscribed in the past, you can resubscribe to only receive Auto Renew emails. 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/X3, but renewed your membership on 2/1/X3, your new expiration date would be 6/30/X4.

We don’t but consider joining as a 3-year or even Lifetime Member to save some dough!

Household Membership

Add household member(s) to your account at any time! It’s $30 per person (up to three) for one- and three-year memberships. Contact the Membership Team or go to our Join Now/Renew portal and choose ‘Annual Family’ membership to add household member(s) to your account. Once you have your membership, use these steps to add your family members!
