    An excellent addition to the farmers market food hall. They have a really good selection of taps - especially for a food court. Love that the taps featured are all central AB breweries so you may be discovering something new whether you're coming from Calgary or Edmonton. Been here at least a half a dozen times since it's opened and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Pictured is Rival Trade's Trapper orange cream ale. First time hearing of this brewery & tasting one of its beers. Apparently this one is award-winning. It's excellent.

    This probably isn't the most fairest reviews as a buffet style dinner was prepared in advance for an Agricultural meeting that we had just after 5pm. The barman though serving drinks was pleasant & professional though. The food that was provided was fantastic and nicely presented. I'll have to come back with my family & and dine in properly downstairs.

    We held a corporate reception at Craft Beer Commonwealth and Birdy Coffee Co. What a great find and location. The food was catered in from Bo's and it was great. The beer is not only from Commonwealth, but a few other local beers. The coffee is roasted in house, the Italian sodas are made in house and the Affagotto is awesome! Ryan and the staff were amazing - can't wait to have another mixer there again and also check on the venue on a weekend. Thank you Ryan!

    Craft beer commonwealth is a nice resting point while at the gasoline alley farmers market. Ordered a flight from the knowledgable server from local brews. The seating area is high top with barstools, and there are food stands surrounding so you can combine beer with tacos or other snacks.

    I had the pleasure of performing at an event at the Craft Beer Commonwealth on January 20, 2024. The staff were amazing to deal with! They went out of their way to make the comedy portion of the evening a success! If you're looking for a venue to host an event, I highly recommend their space. They treated me gold start to finish! Loved working with them and hope to do it again soon.
