Andy Burgio, Director of Innovation Interview with Mostly Superheroes

Meet Andy!

Starting at 4 Hands and the road to Director of Innovation. Teaser: Andy started in microbrewing and one of his beers is one of 4 Hands top sellers!

Andy highlights some of his personal favorite beers and collabs from 4 Hands over the last 12 years.

VOLTRON DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE - THE BEER - VOLUME 2 ANNOUNCEMENT

Be sure to listen to our episode where we interviewed 4 Hands CEO, Kevin Lemp, where he told us all about the collaboration and announced Volume One release:

Check it out here:

https://mostlysuperheroes.com/watch/voltron-and-4-hands-brewing-company-beer-collaboration

Also listen here:

https://mostlysuperheroes.com/listen

Volume ONE - YELLOW LION 

The first in a six part series of collaborations with breweries from around the country to bring Voltron to life, Volume One is a hazy IPA brewed with Narrow Gauge Brewing Company in Florissant, Missouri. To impart tons of citrusy hop flavor and aroma without substantial upfront bitterness, we mash hopped with Citra and Mosaic and carried out fermentation with Omega Yeast’s Helio Gazer, a thiolized yeast strain that delivers intense notes of guava, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and stone fruit through a metabolic process called biotransformation. | ABV: 7.5%

Volume TWO - GREEN LION 

Voltron Volume Two has landed at the 4 Hands Brewery & Tasting Room! Swing by 4 HANDS to snag a four-pack of 16oz cans!

The second release in a six part series of collaborations with breweries from around the country to bring Voltron to life, Voltron Volume Two is a fruited hazy IPA brewed with Southern Grist Brewing Co in Nashville, Tennessee. Notes of tangerine, lime, passion fruit, blueberry and white grape contributed by Mosaic, Riwaka and Nelson Sauvin hops combine with mango and kiwi added to the beer during fermentation to create a super fruity, pillowy-soft, hazy IPA. | ABV: 7%

Andy tells us about the collaboration process for Volume One and Volume Two: Who all is involved and how are these recipes and cans coming to fruition so beautifully.

Chesterfield Location is Open! More details from Andy.

Learn how all of the breweries were selected and hear how all of this gets done.

Find out how to get the beer!

Andy Teases out some details about Volume 3! 

More from Andy:

Teases of some future 4 Hands work!

What it's all about for Andy and some sage advice for us and you fans.

A Netflix TV Series Recommendation!

We wrap up and drink some beer.
