NJCB Membership Club, Subscriptions, Gifts and Merchandise through the NJCB Store.

PAYMENTS & REFUNDS: To enroll in the Club, there is a fee. This fee will be charged upon enrollment on the day you sign up. Starting in 2016 and if using the subscription service, your credit card will be automatically charged with payment on November 15 each year or until you terminate your Membership. If you change your address, credit card, or billing information, you can sign into your account to modify that information. See Subscriptions below. Our Merchant ID for Stripe (credit cards on the NJCB store) orders may contain the NJCB_CCDLLC. Please check your statements for verification. We do not offer refunds on NJCB Memberships or merchandise. More payment and refund information about our Subscriptions, Spouse Subscriptions and Gifts are on those NJCB Store product listings.

Unfortunately, New Jersey Craft Beer is unable to offer refunds after the charge has been successfully processed. Knowing that we are unable to offer refunds, we sent notices regarding the renewal date 60 days, 30 days, 5 days and 12 hours prior to renewal to each member’s registered email address, in addition to posting numerous reminders on social media platforms such as Facebook, X / Twitter, and Instagram.

VALIDITY: Your NJCB Memberships are valid from January 1 through December 31 of the year printed on the Card and are only valid for the NJCB Member listed on the card. This subscription will automatically renew yearly with a new unique Membership Card being mailed after your payment has been processed.

PRINTING: NJCB Membership Cards are printed on Wednesdays. Orders that are received by 1159PM on the day before will be printed that night and mailed the following morning. Infrequently, we change the weekly printing schedule, visit our calendar for updates. During our renewal season (November 15 – December 20), we print Memberships daily.

SHIPPING: We ship Membership Cards directly to the Member using USPS. They come in plain white envelopes with a yellow shipping label. Be sure to double check your mailing address when you order. If the Membership Card is returned as undeliverable, we will attempt to contact you by email to secure additional details for another attempt at delivery. If you feel your order is lost contact us. Our policy is to reprint/reship your mail after 14 days from the Monday after the original complete date of your order according to the email you’ll receive from our store. During our renewal season (November 15 – December 20), we ship Memberships daily. At certain events, Membership Cards may be available for pickup on a limited basis. These events will be listed in advance and in-person Membership Card pickup is only possible when prearranged. Contact Team NJCB for more information.

SUBSCRIPTIONS: Subscribers create an account allowing you to modify email, banking and mailing information upon checkout of the subscription. Subscribers may be eligible for additional unique offers throughout the year, stay tuned to the website, emails, and app for more details!

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT: Your NJCB login will provide you with access to exclusive content and incentives.

TERMINATION / CANCELLATION OF SERVICE: You will have to terminate your subscription through the NJCB online store in your Account, we, Team NJCB, will not be able to cancel it for you. Subscription cancellations will cancel your renewal for the following year, but will not result in a prorated refund. Your current Membership Card will continue to be valid through December 31 of the listed year. Cancelling BEFORE your Subscription on November 15 is ideal so you are not charged for a Membership. The account management and cancellation process can be done with one click through the My Account page. This is linked on every email we send out and printed on the back of the Membership Card through the Members Only link/QR code.

FIRST TIME MEMBER: If you become a NJCB Member for the first time between November 25 and December 15, you will be sent the current year Membership as well as the next year’s Membership included in your order as a complimentary bonus, allowing you to utilize the benefits of Membership. We will print both Memberships at the same time and ship them together. Notify us in the ORDER NOTES section when ordering that you are first time NJCB Member.

GIFTS: For Gift Memberships use our gift card ordering system NOT subscriptions. Ordering a Gift as a subscription is often confusing for everyone.

ROADMAP: We will be adding more exclusives for NJCB Members including more collaboration releases and exclusive events.

LEGAL: Our terms and conditions are simple for the Membership Club. The subscription will automatically renew at the end of each term for a further term of 1 year unless you cancel your subscription before November 15.

NJCB Business Partners.

We take our Business Partnerships seriously and want to help bring more craft beer customers to you but we do have a few conditions that need to be met.

FOR ON PREMISE BUSINESS PARTNERS:
• Minimum expectation of about 50% draft lines to CRAFT BEER and about 20% those draft lines New Jersey breweries.
• Reasonable proper glassware being used such as but not limited to plastic cups not the norm, craft not poured in frosted/cold glasses, high ABV not poured in large format glassware.
• Proper beer service performed (beer poured correctly, draft lines cleaned regularly, etc)
• NJCB signage displayed in the front of house/door/POS registers is encouraged where not prohibited by business regulations.
• Staff understands the NJCB Club and what your business offers as observed by Team NJCB and feedback from NJCB Members.

FOR OFF PREMISE BUSINESS PARTNERS:
• Reasonable selection of local craft beer products available.
• Display of NJCB signage at door and/or register where not prohibited by the business regulations. POS signage is also available.
• Business found to increase prices based on rare/limited allocation of product may be removed from the Club. YOUR profit margins are not our business or our concern, however we like to promote all of our Business Partners and stand behind their business through promotions and marketing. We do not influence your pricing decisions nor want to be involved in your pricing and we understand minimums and volume purchases, however, often, business highly elevated pricing on select items spill over into complaint forums on our Members Only outlets and other social networks. It is difficult for us to mitigate these complaints, and they make NJCB look bad for sending customers to businesses known to increase prices. We may not be able to depend these complaints and if our partners are known to continue this practice, we have the right to remove them from the Club with fair notice.
• Staff understands the NJCB Club and what your business offers as observed by Team NJCB and feedback from NJCB Members.

Drink Responsibly. We do not endorse excess consumption of alcohol

According to CraftBeer.com, there are a few notable thoughts from their Savor The Flavor page.

The rate at which alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream depends on the individual. The alcohol concentration in your body is based on the following:

• Your weight. In general, the less you weigh, the more you will be affected by alcohol.
• The amount of food in your stomach. Food will slow alcohol absorption but will not prevent intoxication.
• The period of time during which you consume beer.
• The average metabolism rate for moderate drinkers produces a .017 per hour decline in their blood-alcohol content (BAC) level. For example, if your BAC is .08% and you have stopped drinking, it will take about one hour for your body to reduce BAC to .063%. Check out our Blood Alcohol Content Calculator to learn more about your limits.

Factors that determine the effects of alcohol include:

• Gender. Men generally have a higher alcohol tolerance because they are usually bigger and have a lower percentage of body fat than women.
• Mental and physical health. Illness, depression, stress or fatigue can increase the effects of alcohol.
• Percentage of body fat. Alcohol will affect a physically fit individual less than someone with a higher percentage of body fat—even if both people are the same weight.
• Medication. Medication can increase the influence of alcohol. Follow your doctor’s advice before mixing the two.

and there’s more, please refer to CraftBeer.com for details.

New Jersey Craft Beer is intended only for responsible adults of legal drinking age in their country of residence.

New Jersey Craft Beer does not advocate or encourage the abuse of alcoholic beverages including beer. If you do try a new beer, purchase any beer related products including the NJCB Membership Club or visit a new NJCB Business Partner because of something you read on our site, that you do so responsibly and with moderation. Please do NOT drink and drive.
