Free digital DRAFT Magazine

Difflugia · 09-05-2013, 01:32 PM

DRAFT Magazine is a glossy, advertising-heavy magazine about beer (much like Saveur is for food). A couple of years ago, they gave me a "free, six-month subscription" to the digital edition. Since they still send me an email with a link to each issue and the links don't attach to an account or require a login, I'm assuming that the "subscription" is more of a mailing list.

If reading about boutique beers sounds entertaining to you, here's a link to the September/October 2013 issue. It's a Flash application with the option of downloading a PDF. The archive page has links to back issues, so you can use this issue's link as a landing page without giving them an email address if you want to check back every couple of months.

If you want to be reminded, there's a link at their website where you can enter your email address for a "free preview issue" of the digital magazine. I don't know for sure, but I'd bet that you start getting emails for each issue.

They apparently support HTML5 because the magazine is viewable on Chrome on my tablet.

For onlookers: the PDF download link is a 'down-arrow' on the menu on the right.

Necroposting to say: Looks like they figured it out and now require credentials to pull down the archives.
