The owner of West Branch Malts is none other than myself, Randy Thatcher. I am proud to say that West Branch Malts is a family-owned and operated business, and I take a hands-on, engaged approach to running it. Being deeply involved in every aspect of the company allows me to have a personal connection with our products and our customers.
Growing up in a family that has been in the brewing industry for generations, I developed a passion for beer and the art of brewing at a very young age. I spent countless hours alongside my father, learning the ins and outs of the craft. This hands-on experience laid a strong foundation for my journey as a brewer and ultimately led me to become the owner of West Branch Malts.
As the owner, I am involved in every step of the brewing process, from selecting the finest ingredients to overseeing the production and ensuring the quality of our malts. I firmly believe that the key to creating exceptional products lies in the details, and I strive for perfection in every batch we produce.
One of the aspects that sets West Branch Malts apart is our commitment to using the highest quality ingredients. We work closely with local farmers to source the finest barley, ensuring that our malts have the unique flavors and characteristics that make them stand out. This dedication to quality is something I am personally invested in, as I have developed strong relationships with these farmers over the years.
In addition to overseeing the production process, I also play a role in the marketing and sales of our malts. I believe in building relationships with our customers and understanding their needs. This personal touch allows me to better serve our clients and tailor our products to meet their specific requirements. Whether it's working with a small craft brewery or a large-scale production facility, I am dedicated to providing the best possible service.
Running a family-owned business like West Branch Malts comes with its own set of challenges and rewards. One of the challenges is finding a balance between work and personal life. Being so deeply involved in the day-to-day operations can be demanding, but it also allows me to have a deeper understanding of the business and a greater sense of pride in what we create.
Another rewarding aspect of being the owner is the opportunity to see the impact our malts have on the brewing community. I have had the pleasure of witnessing breweries create exceptional beers using our malts, and it is incredibly fulfilling to know that our products are contributing to the success and creativity of other brewers.
