“We’re beyond excited to welcome Bonsai Bar to Colorado and to host their first sold-out class right here at Woods Boss! It’s an incredibly fun, community-driven concept that brings new faces into the taproom and supports the local craft scene in a fresh, creative way. Events like this not only introduce people to the joy of bonsai but also boost the local brewing economy by creating unique experiences that draw people in. We can’t wait to see how this partnership grows—pun intended!” says Rachael Morgan, Taproom Leader at Woods Boss Brewing Company

Whether beginners or seasoned enthusiasts, Bonsai Bar ensures everyone leaves with a deeper appreciation for bonsai and the satisfaction of nurturing their tree.
“Colorado’s craft beer scene is one of the most vibrant and community-focused in the country, which makes it a perfect match for what we do at Bonsai Bar,” said Ben Arsenault, Colorado Regional Director and Co-Founder of Bonsai Bar. “There’s a shared spirit between craft brewing and bonsai—both require patience, creativity, and a hands-on connection to something living. Pairing these two worlds creates an atmosphere that’s relaxing, educational, and deeply rooted in the community. We’re thrilled to be growing in a place where that kind of synergy thrives.”
