West Branch Malts Team
Randy Thatcher
Maltster/Partner
Randy takes a hands-on, engaged approach to running family-owned and operated West Branch Malts. He was educated as a Maltster by Hartwick College, NY in 2016. As a vocal supporter of the local movement, "vote with your dollars!" he enjoys exploring local breweries, restaurants, and music venues. He loves spending time with his four kids; especially outdoors in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park or the Metroparks - hiking the trails, kayaking, or mountain biking. Randy is a firm believer in treating customers as partners, with a "shared success" strategy in mind.
