My running group AlbH3 needed a start point on a Saturday morning during the Balloon Festa. About 20 cars parking is hard to find in a small town. This place was perfect. After the run we ended here. There are large seating areas to enjoy some great brew.Food trucks were out front allowing us to have a meal while relaxing. I buy this company's beer in our local stores, but had never gotten the chance to visit the brewery. Staff were very accommodating & informative. There were even a couple families relaxing on the grassy areas. As you can see in the photos it has a very relaxing area to drink. Now to the beer. The Massive Ascension was my 1st beer because of the Balloon Festa of course. Great taste, not heavy, pine and citrus taste.My favorite is the Perle Haggard it is German style Pilsner. I have this beer in my refrigerator right now. (Description Taken from their website) Sweet bready malt, straw, notes of honey, floral, earthy, noble hoppy crisp finish, refreshing.This is now my favorite place in Corrales NM

A great place in a beautiful area! Absolutely love this place and how they have everyone order at the register to keep it organized!Then they came around to check on us.They have their own food truck, i didn't try it but it smelled and looked absolutely amazing and I want to try it on my next trip because I will absolutely be back.

Beautiful location. It was a nice day so we definitely enjoyed the outdoor seating. I don't drink that much so I was happy to see some non alcoholic drink options on the menu, it was very cheap as well. The service was quick and friendly!

Food Truck. Green chili Bloody Mary. Balloon Fiesta morning open. Great venue. Contrary to other untrue crappy reviews you may read - friendly staff, people of all backgrounds. Excellent place to share time with others.

Ex Novo is so fun to be at. I have enjoyed going with friends and the ability to have our children around is great. One thing that is hard is that you cannot cross the parking lot with your drinks which makes it harder when you have people wanting to hang out at the side with corn hole, grass, and games. Overall, the drinks are great, atmosphere is wonderful, and there is almost always food there. Service has always been great when I have gone.

Located in Corrales, Ex Novo is a must visit regarding the Albuquerque area brewery scene. They've expanded a lot in recent years and the space is awesome. I went for a special event with one of the young professionals groups I am a member of and we had the the original area blocked off for the event. It's super cute but they now have a much larger area right next to it. We were there on a Thursday and they had a food truck there, parking was a little limited because there were so many people around. I got the frozen pineapple margarita and it was delicious. Super refreshing but also a good amount of alcohol in it still without tasting too strong. One drink was plenty.Friendly reminder that Corrales is basically one way in and one way out but its worth checking out. There appeared to be a lot going on in the area.

Ex Novo Brewing is a brewery that simply never disappoints. My most recent experience with them was no exception as I had their Dripping Sun Farmhouse Saison. Saisons as of late I feel like I haven't seen or had very much of so it was great to have Dripping Sun because it had all the flavor traits I hope to see with a saison with it's yeasty tartness and light demeanor this beer continues to release my praise for this brewery and their many beer options!

I've never been to Corrales before so I wasn't sure what to expect on the drive there, but it was surprisingly very scenic. The brewery itself has an expansive beer garden area with heated lamps and some shade, but I opted to sit inside to escape the wind. There were so many beer options and I liked that I was able to sample one I was curious about before committing. I went with the Sun Sinks in the Wes which is a sour variety that I absolutely loved. It's described as a smoothie style sour with mango, passion fruit and pineapple and is probably my new favorite! It was so easy to drink and reminded me of a hot summer day.

Came out for drinks at 7 PM On 10/28. First time here. No greeting or welcome from staff. Sat down at a table and after 10 minutes of waiting I was surprised to learn that you have to go to the bar for service when there were only four tables and two bartenders working. Bartender with the short black hair was abhorrent from the get-go. She was so incredibly rude and obviously did not want to be at work. Her entire demeanor was hostile & so awkward. She did last call at 8 PM even though the establishment closes at 9. We ordered two margaritas and she gave them to us with no salt or garnish. Just a glass of pale yellow. Humorous and pathetic. Wasted my money at a place where employees in basic positions can't even do the bare minimum when it comes to customer service. Also, your batched margaritas taste like lemonade and the recipe should be reworked by a professional. For the love of God please do better.
