Home of Craft Beer Commonwealth
Red Deer’s newest brewery and taproom Craft Beer Commonwealth is located in the Market Kitchen. Celebrating all things Alberta, they are focused on showcasing and collaborating with other Central Alberta breweries, malt growers and hop growers. You can’t get more local than that! You might even see the brewing in action while you sip on your beer!

There are five restaurants located in the Market Kitchen. The original Longhorn restaurant is based in Ponoka, and their new market restaurant Longhorn Eatery is serving up delicious burgers, salads and wings. You may know them from the food truck, now Taco Monster have launched their first physical location with their signature tacos, as well as tots and lemonade.
