Martin Svab has been incorporated in the beer industry since the early 2000s. He comes to Pivot Brewing by way of the California Bay Area and even before from the former Czechoslovakia, where his family shares rich Publican History. With nearly 20 years of experience in beer production, sales, marketing, and intergalactic command, Martin still finds passion in new and creative styles of beer. His role at Pivot allows him to flex his jack-of-all-trades nature. When he isn’t out enjoying a Pivot brew, he enjoys visiting other local breweries, hanging out by the fire with his wife, and of course, his beloved pup.
