Full Pour Magazine Marks Women's History Month and Second Year of Dynamic Publishing in Drinks Culture

Full Pour Magazine Celebrates Women’s History Month and Marks Its Second Anniversary

This March, Full Pour Magazine proudly celebrates not only its second anniversary but also the empowering Women's History Month, underlining the contributions of women to the world of drinks culture. Founded in March 2023, this independent, woman-owned print publication has set itself apart by offering fresh perspectives on various beverages, from wine and beer to spirits and more.

Since making its debut, Full Pour has consistently released quarterly issues, paving the way for a diverse and equal-opportunity platform that embraces drink enthusiasts across all categories. Whether it's vinified, brewed, distilled, infused, or non-alcoholic beverages, every issue highlights multiple stories that elevate the rich narratives around each drink. Creating a welcoming environment for contributors from different backgrounds, Full Pour emphasizes storytelling that showcases the history, production, and enjoyment of beverages.

Through high-quality and eco-conscious print methods, Full Pour ensures that readers experience a lasting connection with the publication. The magazine has garnered recognition early on, being awarded the Magazine Launch of the Year in 2023 and Best Full Issue in the Culture/Community category for 2024 by the prestigious FOLIO Eddie and Ozzie Awards. Furthermore, it has received a nomination for a National Magazine Award for General Excellence, which reflects the quality and impact of the content it has curated.

In spite of challenges within the evolving media landscape, Editor and Publisher Lauren Buzzeo expresses pride in the achievements so far. Keen on boosting discussions surrounding independent journalism, the magazine is committed to enhancing awareness of the positive role quality print publications play in celebrating beverage culture and fostering appreciation.

One of the standout initiatives at Full Pour is its innovative advertising partnership approach, aimed at creating a positive impact within the food and beverage community. The Flow Into Community Program uniquely aligns with advertising partners to support nonprofit organizations, enhancing sustainable practices in the industry. On top of this, Full Pour champions sustainable printing, using eco-friendly methods throughout the production process. This commitment spans from utilizing Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified recycled paper to employing vegetable-based inks and sustainable packaging, ensuring a lower environmental impact.

To further highlight its dedication to diversity and community, Full Pour has collaborated with Maryam + Company on a Media Trip Award that seeks to uplift diverse talents in the wine industry. The partnership not only empowers participants by immersing them in unique food and wine experiences, but it also promotes their stories, ensuring that underrepresented voices are heard.

In celebration of its anniversary, ASME nomination, and the launch of its Spring 2025 issue—featuring a predominantly female roster of contributors—Full Pour is hosting an event in New York City on March 19, 2025. Partnering with SAVEUR—a fellow women-led magazine—the event will address women breaking barriers in both food and publishing industries. The moderator will be none other than Lauren Buzzeo alongside SAVEUR EIC CEO Kat Craddock.

Buzzeo reflects on the collaboration, emphasizing the excitement of partnering with an independent magazine that shares a commitment to quality storytelling and the importance of community within these creative spaces.

Full Pour is presently available not only for individual purchase but also via annual subscriptions. The magazine can be found at major retailers like Barnes & Noble and Chapters/Indigo, while also reaching a global audience through various independent stores and online platforms.

As Full Pour continues to pave the way for appreciation of drinks culture, it invites all readers to partake in its journey, inspiring awareness, and conversation across all drink categories. With their ongoing dedication to excellence, this magazine truly embodies the spirit of community, quality, and innovative storytelling in the beverage landscape.
