Select Board approves Ralph Young as manager of Bad Martha's Farmers Brewery
Summary
The board approved a corrected ABCC application to name Ralph Young manager of record for Bad Martha’s Farmers Brewery after the applicant addressed earlier application inconsistencies; Young said he has been managing the Falmouth location since 2019 and works long seasonal hours.
The Select Board approved a change-of-manager application for Bad Martha's Farmers Brewery LLC at 876 East Falmouth Highway, approving Ralph Young as the manager of record.
Attorney Tyler Hensler described a prior ABCC return-no-action situation caused by an incorrectly completed application; the corrected submission names Ralph Young as manager. Young told the board he has been working at the Falmouth location since 2019 and typically spends 60–70 hours per week at the site during the season. He described ongoing mitigation such as decibel monitoring for live music and a new professionally built sound-mitigation panel.
Town staff said there had been limited recent complaints and that the applicant had cooperated on mitigation measures following earlier noise issues. After discussion and questions about past responsiveness and neighborhood outreach, the board voted to approve the change of manager.
