How to Cancel Beer52 UK: Complete Guide Without Calling (2026)

Introduction

Beer52 makes it surprisingly difficult to cancel your subscription. Many UK customers spend 15-20 minutes clicking through their account settings, only to find no clear “Cancel” button. Some even resort to calling customer service during limited hours.

This guide shows you exactly how to cancel Beer52 using three proven methods. I’ve tested each approach in January 2026 to ensure they still work.

Quick Summary:

⏱️ Time Required: 2-5 minutes
📱 Methods Available: Website, Email, Phone
💡 Difficulty Level: Medium (they hide the option)
📅 Last Updated: January 2026
💰 Cancellation Fee: None

Before You Cancel: What You Need to Know

Before cancelling your Beer52 subscription, here’s what will happen:

What You’ll Lose

❌ Your monthly craft beer deliveries
❌ Access to members-only beers
❌ Beer52 Rewards points (these expire immediately)
❌ Any unused discount codes

What You’ll Keep

✅ Access to your account until the end of your current billing period
✅ Your order history and past reviews
✅ The ability to reactivate later (with a new subscription)

Check Your Billing Date First

This is crucial before cancelling:

Log into your Beer52 account
Go to “My Account” → “Subscription Details”
Check your “Next Delivery Date”
Note: Beer52 charges 5-7 days before your delivery date

Important: Beer52 does NOT offer pro-rated refunds. If you’ve already been charged for next month, you’ll receive that final case before your cancellation takes effect.

Download Your Order History (Optional)

If you want to keep records of your favourite beers:

Go to “My Account” → “Order History”
Screenshot or note down your favourite beers
Save any recipes or tasting notes you’ve added

Note: Beer52 keeps your account data for 12 months after cancellation, so you can access it later if needed.

Method 1: Cancel via Beer52 Website (Recommended)

This is the fastest method, though Beer52 deliberately hides the cancellation option.

Step-by-Step Process:

Step 1: Go to beer52.com and log in with your email and password.

Step 2: Click on your account icon in the top right corner.

Step 3: Select “My Account” from the dropdown menu.

Step 4: Scroll down to “Subscription Settings” (not immediately visible – you need to scroll past your delivery details).

Step 5: Look for “Manage Subscription” and click it.

Step 6: You’ll see options like “Skip a Case” or “Pause Subscription” – scroll past these.

Step 7: At the bottom, you’ll find a small text link that says “Cancel my subscription” (it’s deliberately less prominent than other options).

Step 8: Click “Cancel my subscription.”

Step 9: Beer52 will show you a retention offer – either a discount or free snacks. If you want to proceed, click “No thanks, cancel anyway.”

Step 10: Select your cancellation reason from the dropdown (this is mandatory).

Step 11: Click “Confirm Cancellation.”

Step 12: You should see a confirmation message: “Your subscription has been cancelled.”

Confirmation

Within 24 hours, you should receive a confirmation email to the address registered with your account.

Subject line: “We’re sorry to see you go”

If you don’t receive this email within 48 hours, check your spam folder or contact Beer52 support.

Method 2: Cancel via Email (The Reliable Backup)

If the website method doesn’t work or you prefer written confirmation, email is your best option.

Email Details:

Send to: hello@beer52.com
Subject: Subscription Cancellation Request – [Your Account Email]
Expected Response Time: 24-48 hours (excluding weekends)

Email Template (Copy & Customize):

Subject: Subscription Cancellation Request - [your.email@example.com]

Dear Beer52 Team,

I am writing to request the immediate cancellation of my Beer52 subscription.

Account Details:
- Account Email: [your registered email]
- Full Name: [your name as registered]
- Postcode: [your delivery postcode]

Please confirm once my subscription has been cancelled and provide the date of my final delivery.

Thank you,
[Your Name]

What to Expect:

Response time: Usually 1-2 working days
Follow-up: They may offer you a discount to stay – simply reply “No thank you, please proceed with cancellation”
Confirmation: You’ll receive an email confirming your cancellation date

Pro Tip: Keep this email thread for your records. If you’re charged after cancellation, this serves as proof of your cancellation request.

Method 3: Cancel by Phone (Last Resort)

Only use this method if the website and email options fail.

Contact Details:

📞 Phone: 0131 281 4247
🕐 Hours: Monday-Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM GMT
⏱️ Average Wait Time: 5-15 minutes

What to Say:

“Hello, I’d like to cancel my Beer52 subscription please. My account email is [your email].”

What They’ll Ask:

Your account email address
Your postcode (for verification)
Reason for cancelling (optional, but they will ask)

Retention Offers:

The phone agent will likely offer:

20% discount on next case
Free snacks with next delivery
Pause option instead of cancellation

How to respond: “Thank you, but I’d like to proceed with full cancellation please.”

Get confirmation: Ask the agent to email you written confirmation of your cancellation.

Remove Your Payment Details (Important Security Step)

Even after cancelling, your payment card remains saved in Beer52’s system. Here’s how to remove it:

Steps to Remove Card:

Log in to your Beer52 account
Go to “My Account” → “Payment Methods”
Click on your saved card
Select “Remove Card” or “Delete”
Confirm deletion

Why this matters:

Prevents accidental reactivation
Protects against potential data breaches
Gives you complete closure

Note: If you plan to reactivate in the future, you can leave your payment method saved. Otherwise, remove it for security.

How to Confirm Your Cancellation Was Successful

After cancelling, take these steps to verify:

Immediate Checks:

✅ Check for confirmation email (within 24-48 hours)
✅ Log into your account – you should see “No Active Subscription”

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund for the rest of this month?

No. Beer52 does not offer pro-rated refunds. Your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You’ll receive any cases you’ve already paid for.

Can I pause instead of cancelling?

Yes. Beer52 offers a “Pause” option that freezes your subscription for 1-3 months. This is useful if you’re going on holiday or have too much beer in stock. However, if you want to stop completely, cancellation is clearer.

Will I lose my rewards points immediately?

Yes. All Beer52 Rewards points expire immediately upon cancellation. If you have points, consider using them before you cancel by redeeming them for discounts or snacks.

How long does cancellation take to process?

Cancellations via website are instant. Email cancellations take 24-48 hours. Phone cancellations are processed during the call. Your account status updates within 24 hours.

What if Beer52 keeps charging me after cancellation?

First, email hello@beer52.com with your cancellation confirmation. If they don’t refund you within 7 days, contact your bank to dispute the charge. Keep all email confirmations as evidence.

Can I reactivate later?

Yes. You can reactivate anytime by creating a new subscription on beer52.com. Your account history is preserved for 12 months, but you’ll start as a new subscriber with no previous rewards points.

Do I need to return anything?

No. Beer52 doesn’t require you to return glasses, snacks, or magazines that came with previous cases. These are yours to keep.

What if I’m in a contract or commitment?

Most Beer52 subscriptions are rolling monthly – there’s no minimum commitment. However, if you signed up through a special promotional offer, check your original confirmation email for any terms.

Summary

Cancelling Beer52 UK doesn’t need to be complicated:

Fastest method: Use the website cancellation option hidden in Subscription Settings
Most reliable: Email hello@beer52.com with your cancellation request
Confirmation: Check for email confirmation within 48 hours
Security: Remove your saved payment card after cancelling
Monitoring: Check your bank statement to confirm no further charges

Remember: Beer52 deliberately makes cancellation harder than signing up. Don’t be discouraged by retention offers or hidden buttons – you have every right to cancel whenever you choose.
