Pivovar West Brewing

Pivovar West Brewing Co. will be a brewery/tasting room with to-go beers available in cans, crowlers, and growlers. We will have a very limited self-distribution footprint to maintain quality and the guest experience expected when serving our beers, especially our house Czech Premium Lager. There will be a smaller brewery at the beginning that will eventually become the dedicated Pivovar West Ale House, and it will be home to our food truck serving European Comfort Foods like Czech Goulash and Shepard’s Pie. From there we will open a full scale brewpub that will then become the official Pivovar West Lager House + European Comfort Foods, keeping the original combo brewery as our Ale House with the Food Truck. The new facility will then house a showpiece brew house imported from the Czech Republic that will enhance the guest experience even further.

Nyle Molina, Head Brewer/Owner/CEO
Hello from beautiful California! My name is Nyle Molina, and some of you may know me as the former Head Brewer from successful and hyped brewery Abnormal Beer Co. Well, if you didn’t know I started this journey in culinary school to open a restaurant. I then went on to run restaurants for almost 7 years before taking an opportunity to manage multiple Home Depot stores and corporate projects. 10 years into the corporate retail game I realized how vibrant my passion was still for opening a restaurant. I went back to obtain my bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management and brush up on the industry. It didn’t take long for my direction to shift to beer. A wine class elective is what actually got me to start home brewing beer. From there I finished my last two years at Florida International University as the T.A. for the brewing sciences professor. Soon after I landed my first professional brewing gig at Funky Buddha Brewery in Oakland Park, FL. I quickly jumped on the opportunity to take a brewer position with Green Flash Brewing a year later and fulfilled another life-long dream of mine, moving to California. After 2 years at Green Flash, I took a position at Abnormal Beer Co. In San Diego, CA. They made wine, had a fancy restaurant, and a brewery. Needless to say this was the most perfect opportunity for me. From there I spent 4 years developing brands, recipes, SOP’s, and planning our growth. This includes making a list of “The 50 Fastest Growing Breweries” in 2018 with an increase of almost 300%. In the same time I was taking the Abnormal Beer job, I met my wife Pavla. She was born in the Czech Republic and is the main cultural reference point for this project, and helped solidify our direction for the brewery. She has all her family there still so we visit often and have strong connections to some of the oldest breweries in the world.
