Has anyone signed up for the Brew Your Own digital subscription? Supposed to have access to all the articles from past issues, but damned if I can find them.
This is OT. But I would rather recommend a membership in AHA. then you get Zymurgy (digi, paper, or both), and you can read the entire back-catalog in digital, and you also get access to seminars captured on tape.
You don’t get past issues. You get digital copies of the magazines that are released from initial purchase date up to the current issue.
However. Buyer beware. If you ever cancel your subscription, you loose every digital issue you acquired throughout the years.
The digital issues can only be read through the app or if you are logged in to your account online.
It’s a bit of a racket.
I’d stick to the paper subscription.

I have a subscription to BYO magazine.....just the print product w/o any digital access. I tend to like the feel of slick, glossy paper and the old school idea that print still serves a purpose.
I had a LHBS owner suggest membership in the AHA which includes Zymurgy magazine. I don't really know what benefits AHA membership offers to me personally, but the magazine is likely the reason I'd join. Is the magazine well designed and equal in editorial quality to BYO?
I really enjoyed reading the digital version of BYO. Not any more. It is terrible and takes away the whole “magazine” experience. I’ll have to go back to print or give BYO up for good. I wonder if they are going to do the same thing to Winemaker.
Want2BS8ed - Although I did not strictly ask for a refund I asked what people that paid for the App-based version of BYO were going to be compensated with and have not heard anything from them. I am equally worried that I will lose e-versions of the e-versions that I have received through subscription or bought over the years. So far, the iOS App is still working for the time being and my iPad just went through an update.I'm getting stonewalled on canceling the balance of my digital "subscription." Not certain who made the decision to eliminate the electronic version of the magazine, but as Pappy used to say, they're about dumb as a post. I typically read magazines while on transcontinental flights and downloading individual articles before boarding as Brad Ring with BYO suggested is NOT going to work.
The iPad app is no longer recognizing previously purchased/downloaded issues either. Every... single... issue... I have purchased back to May/June of 2012.
Not particularly happy at the moment.

I am also thinking about what to go with for a magazine subscription .....Zymurgy or Craft Beer and Brewing....still looking at options. For those that have either or both of these, what are the e-versions like? Are they like the old BYO magazine format, or are they web-based like BYO have moved to?
