Tried doing a search but any search with beer and brewing in it is going to get a lot of hits. Anyway, to the subscribers of Craft Beer and Brewing - is it worth it ?
As a total newbie I got an All Access subscription for Xmas 2022 from my wife which included the shipped physical magazine, a digital download, and way more importantly full unlimited access to the courses and the subscriber only recipes.

The subscriber only recipes are a great asset for me because they're in Beersmith (bsmx) format which is what I use so I simply download and import, and apply my profiles, modifications, etc, and I'm ready to go. Most have very good brewing notes from a professional brewer, unlike most others I have found for free.

If you look at the courses available, you'll see they're all delivered by professional award winning brewers and brewing scientists and range in price from $29.95 to $49.95 each if you buy them singularly without a subscription. You get marked off as having completed them and in most cases will also receive a certificate too (for what it's worth). The content varies but overall it's of very high quality with good production values and lots of useful insights, even if some of it is more aimed at the pro brewer. Most have notes and recipes as well.

As you might expect they do reflect the US craft brewing market so there's not a lot of content related to cask ales, but overall I think $99/119 USD per annum for 90 courses, 400 videos and 1000+ recipes is pretty good value, so much so that I renewed my All Access Subscription last dec for another year. (click on the International button to see UK pricing if you want hard copies of the magazine, it's only $99 USD for Digital only All Access).

The other way I access and learn is via the Craft Beer and Brewing Podcast.

HTH.
