Episode #037 | Dr. Margaux Huismann, Hop Applications Scientist at Totally Natural Solutions

Beer with Nat

Today’s guest is Dr. Margaux Huismann, Hop Applications Scientist at Totally Natural Solutions.

Margaux tells us what her role at Total Natural Solutions entails, what the business does, and we even do a little tasting experiment with some of their products!

Then we learn what sort of training it took for Margaux to get to this role by focusing in on her academic journey, which saw her move from Wisconsin to Scotland to pursue her Master’s in Brewing and Distilling and later PhD in Brewing Chemistry at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. She tells us all about what it was like to move across the pond, along the with topics of her Master’s and PhD theses and the research that each entailed.

Finally, Margaux tells us what she enjoys most about being a part of the beer industry.

(Just a quick heads up, this episode was recorded remotely, so the audio quality is not quite the same as previous seasons, but I hope you still enjoy it!)

Here’s Margaux…
