The independent, woman-owned print publication that offers a progressive take on drinks media, covering wine, beer, spirits, infused and non-alcoholic beverages, and beyond, celebrates another year of print publishing and the release of Issue No. 09–Spring 2025.
BROOKFIELD, Conn., March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Full Pour, the print magazine devoted to all facets of drinks culture, is honored to celebrate its second anniversary this month. The innovative, woman-owned magazine has pushed the boundaries of drinks media, redefining the value, quality, experience and community that independent magazine publishing can bring to consumers and social beverage culture.
Since its introduction in March 2023, Full Pour has released four quarterly issues annually, creating space as a leading equal-opportunity magazine for consumers across all categories, from wine, beer and spirits to cider, coffee, tea, infused and non-alcoholic drinks and beyond. Every issue features multiple stories within the magazine’s five main coverage areas: vinified, brewed, distilled, infused, and zero-proof or non-alcoholic drinks.
The magazine works with contributors from around the globe who provide diverse perspectives, backgrounds and storytelling angles that surround drinks history, production and enjoyment as well as stunning visuals from graphic artists and illustrators. All are served by Full Pour‘s high-quality yet eco-friendly print production methods to create a lasting, transportive experience within each issue.
Awarded Magazine Launch of the Year in 2023 and Best Full Issue (Consumer) in the Culture/Community category in 2024 by the FOLIO: Eddie and Ozzie Awards, a prestigious program in the publishing industry that recognizes excellence in editorial content and design across print and digital media, Full Pour‘s mission is grounded in encouraging conscious consumption and consumer confidence, connecting with readers and partners that share its social and environmental values and building authentic community. The magazine has also received a coveted 2024 National Magazine Award, or “Ellie”, nomination for General Excellence, Special Interest from the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME).
“Despite a challenging and rapidly evolving media landscape, we are incredibly proud of our accomplishments to date,” says Editor and Publisher Lauren Buzzeo, a decades-long drinks- and publishing-industry veteran. “From expanded distribution to innovative community-building programs and partnerships, we are optimistic about evolving conversations around the value and importance of independent journalism and what it stands for, and remain committed in our contribution to that dialogue and raising awareness of how quality print publications can advance appreciation for the art and impact of magazine culture.”
Full Pour features an innovative approach to advertising partnerships, reconsidering the traditional media-advertiser model to drive change and positive impact. The magazine’s Flow Into Community Program aligns with advertising partners to mutually support nonprofit organizations and improve the food and beverage community at large in sustainable and equitable ways through promotion, visibility and monetary support.

Full Pour also proudly uses sustainable and non-toxic printing methods. The magazine’s printer is a member of the international PrintReleaf program, which ensures that, for every quantity of paper consumed, an equivalent number of trees is planted. Issues are printed on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, 100% post-consumer-waste (PCW) recycled paper, which is also designated as Ancient Forest Friendly and PCF (processed chlorine free), and shipped in 100% compostable, biodegradable mailers. It features natural soy- and vegetable-based inks and non-toxic toners rather than heavy-metal or petroleum-based products, and no chemical laminates or plastic coatings that can affect future recyclability.
Full Pour is also thrilled to partner with Maryam + Company on a Media Trip Award to that company’s Field Blends program, an immersive food and wine trip experience that seeks to empower diverse individuals in the wine industry. The 2024 experience was centered around Michigan, while Field Blends 2025 will take place in Lodi, California. The Media Trip Award winner receives the opportunity to participate, all expenses paid, in the annual Field Blends experience and share unique findings and perspectives in a paid feature-article placement for Full Pour. The collaboration underscores both companies’ commitments to foster the growth and recognition of emerging talent within the field of drinks journalism.
To commemorate its two-year anniversary, ASME nomination and the release of the Spring 2025 issue, which boasts a near-exclusive female roster of contributors across words and art, Full Pour is hosting a celebration in New York City on March 19, 2025 in collaboration with SAVEUR, another ASME-nominated, women-owned independent magazine. The event will feature a discussion on women shattering ceilings and creating community in the food & beverage and publishing worlds, moderated by Full Pour Editor & Publisher Lauren Buzzeo and SAVEUR EIC & CEO Kat Craddock, and a celebration of women-made food and drinks thanks to supporting participation from event partners, including Broadbent Selections, Quintessential, Wild East Brewing Company and Barbara Sibley (La Palapa, Holiday Cocktail Lounge).

“It’s beyond exciting to have the chance to team up with another women-owned independent magazine in the food and beverage space, especially around Women’s History Month,” says Buzzeo. “SAVEUR is a publishing icon, and with the recent relaunch of its print magazine under the leadership of owner and Editor-in-Chief Kat Craddock, it’s clear that it maintains the same reverence and appreciation for not only the importance of independent publishing, but diverse print storytelling and human-led and -centered creative culture.”
