Ex Novo Brewing finds its footing in Corrales and parts beyond
Back when Ex Novo Brewing was announced, there were skeptics that anyone would head deep into Corrales to enjoy a beer or two. Oh, how times have changed, as the taproom has become a major draw, the canned beers are flying off the shelves, and our entire craft scene is better for it. To catch…
