I've learned a lot from them, but like any other magazine they tend to repeat themselves a lot. There's a limited amount of new brewing stories and information and a lot of pages that need to be filled in every issue.

That's true though I find some of the DIY articles great and enjoy the clone recipes they post.

Zymurgy is pretty good... they usually have at least one or two interesting articles, and some of the recipes are definitely doable. Especially some of their clone recipes - they seem to be good at getting brewers to give helpful info.

So, you have to join the American Homebrewers Association to get the magazine... helpful if you make frequent trips to the U.S., as membership gets you a lot of discounts at various beer bars, etc. across the country.

So Beersmith has a promo on with Craft Beer and Brewing Magazine. 20% off subscription costs with the discount code. Does anyone get this magazine? Is it any good?

I like TAPS but know what the others mean about some magazines being repetitive. I most enjoy Brad Clifford's recipes and tips for home brewers. If they didn't have that section I would probably cancel my subscription.
