Hands‑on bonsai basics for beginners
The event is built for first‑timers: across a two‑hour session participants pick a tree, receive a ceramic pot and tools, and learn core bonsai techniques that let them leave with a planted tree and ongoing support.
Taproom with games and an eclectic drink list
The host space pairs a bar area with tables, a game room and an outside area—darts, giant Jenga and cornhole are available—and the taproom’s drink selection includes local wine, hard cider and the brewery’s hard seltzer.
Bring a friend and a drink for a relaxed evening
Workshops encourage socializing: grab a friend, your beverage of choice, and settle in for a guided session punctuated by casual games and the taproom atmosphere.
What the day feels like

The evening moves from a brief check‑in to a hands‑on planting session: instructors walk the group through selecting a tree and potting it, participants borrow shears, a soil bin and a chopstick for digging, and the room keeps a lively, social tempo thanks to the brewery’s bar and games.
