What do you get when you join the BHS?

A TYPICAL NEW MEMBER PACK

The new member pack contains enough reading to keep you absorbed for quite some time.

It includes copies of each Journal and Newsletter issued so far this membership year, a membership card, a copy of the constitution, the current bookshop listing with details of many hundreds of books for sale, a number of flyers for BHS publications and a range of leaflets from breweries.

New members can purchase Century of British Brewers - Plus at a special discounted price.

In addition to the AGM the Society holds regular Corporate Member meetings. These are hosted by our Corporate Members and are open to all Society members, they are not gatherings solely for our Corporate Members! They typically involve a tour of the brewery, often more in depth than any public tour on offer, and a talk related to the history of the company.

We also hold a number of local, lower key, brewery visits and meetings throughout the year.

Whenever a brewery is threatened with closure we try to visit to record what we can for posterity.

Apart from breweries we also research and visit other related enterprises such as maltings.

Above all it's about enjoying ourselves. Please do join us.
