Ex Novo Brewing Company (Craft Beer & Brewery in Corrales NM)

Ex Novo Brewing Company has trotted out of Portland’s soggy streets and set up shop in Corrales, New Mexico, where it churns out beers that actually taste like they were meant to be taken seriously. The lineup spans everything from razor‑clean lagers to IPAs that bite back, plus a handful of collaborations that feel like secret handshakes among brew‑savvy friends. What makes the whole operation more than just a tasty pastime is the staggering $175 000 the brewery has already funneled into charities—proof that a good pint can do a good deed.

The venue itself is a playground for grown‑ups who enjoy a cold one without the pretension. Outdoor tables spill onto a generous lawn where children and dogs can roam free, while food trucks serve everything from tacos to gourmet burgers, making the whole place feel like a laid‑back festival (the founders (who had worked together for years) decided that beer should be paired with community, not just foam). Live music, board games and other quirks keep the atmosphere lively, ensuring that whether you’re a hop‑aficionado or a casual sipper, you leave feeling both satisfied and a tad more charitable than when you arrived.
