While most of us were elsewhere Sunday afternoon/evening, Erin was the lone Crew member able to attend an invite-only sneak preview of the Ex Novo beer garden in Corrales. Anyone who had contributed to the fundraising campaign had been invited by founder Joel Gregory to come be the first people to be served in the not-yet-quite-completed area out in front of the main brewery building.

A lot has changed since I last toured the area, including the completion of the outside bar, some amazing artwork adorning the repurposed shipping containers, and there are still more landscaping elements to come.

Without further ado, here are more pictures of the beer garden.

When Ex Novo announces the official grand opening for the beer garden, we will make sure to share it for everyone.

In the meantime, please take note that the brewery is closed today (Monday), and will reopen for business as usual Tuesday.

Keep supporting local!
