Ex Novo Brewing Company is a completely nonprofit brewery located in North East Portland. They have committed to giving a selection of social justice and humanitarian charities $25,000 each. However, their charitableness does not come at the expense of quality beer. At Ex Novo they brew what they like to drink while trying to be creative. The brewery his family friendly and according to Ex Novo President, Joel Gregory, the atmosphere is just like having someone over to his house for dinner. Ex Novo's giving spirit is a charitable compliment to the rest of the local breweries that make Portland a fantastic brew city.
