Since 2006 I have been lecturing at the Scandinavian School of Brewing and the University of Copenhagen. In 2014 I started doing consultancy for breweries as a side business, but since September 2023 I am fully committed – so far in Indonesia, Armenia, Moldova, Georgia, Germany, France and Denmark.
