I got a free magazine subscription through poptarts.com and signed up for Maxim. I used to buy individual issues back in the day. It also used to be a lot thicker back then! It was hilarious back in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Now its kind of so-so and about 1/3 its original size. This month it had Lindsey Lohan. They managed to make her not look so skanky somehow.

What about you?

3 months of the Hockey News when NHL 11 is released next week...

Somehow I was receiving Good Housekeeping for a few months. My wife constantly busted my balls about this.

No idea where I opted in for the free trial. Fortunately I was never charged.

Creationist Monthly--It's really just a pamphlet that lists the latest Evolutionist claims then explains how Satan tricked them since God did it.

None anymore. I used to get several scientific journals but since I found Christ I don't need science anymore. That and the prices of journals got so freaking high.

Cook's Illustrated.
ditto.

I used to subscribe to a couple other magazines, but I let the subscriptions expire as I was gearing up to move this summer. seemed easier than having to screw around with an address change; I'll renew if I ever actually miss them.

GON. Georgia Outdoor News. Did a fishing tournament sponsored by them, you had to subscribe to their magazine to enter. Ended up getting the entry fee and subscription fee money back + alittle more after all was said and done.

What's your subscription rate? I signed up through barnes and noble using a code I had as well as the BCB they had at the time to get it for $18 or so. Now I'm getting renewal notices. I'll probably sign up for the 1 year because their extended plans are so fucking stupid. I can get a year for 14.95 or 3 years for 44.95. The 3 year plan is 3 cents/year more expensive than the single year.

Not fully about homebrewing, but Beer Advocate is an excellent magazine/website about craft beer. They do have recipes and numerous interviews with craft brewers.
