USA, WI: Third Space Brewing planning second location in Menomonee Falls

Milwaukee's Third Space Brewing is planning to open a second location in Menomonee Falls, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on December 18.

Third Space Innovation Brewhouse has a target opening date of June 2024.

The first phase of the project will focus on opening the taproom and restaurant portions, with the brewery to follow, according to company officials.

Third Space Innovation Brewhouse will be housed the site of the former Trysting Place Pub, a Menomonee Falls favorite that closed in September 2020. The building was torn down and a new development called Fussville Station is now under construction at the site.

Third Space currently operates a Milwaukee taproom and a seasonal Elm Grove beer garden.

“Our current taproom has become well known as the place to be for big events like Wisconsin IPA Fest and Ice Bear Fest, and we have cultivated a great group of regulars who have made our taproom their own 'third space,'" said Andy Gehl, co-founder and president.

"Opening a second location in the heart of where so many people live and work offers a great opportunity for a much larger group of people to connect with the Third Space Brewing brand," he said.

Third Space Innovation Brewhouse will have a different focus than the Milwaukee location.

The brewery will be built with specialized equipment that will allow for producing more "innovative" beer styles than the current equipment and facility allow, according to the company news release.

"Craft beer fans can expect to see on tap at the Innovation Brewhouse a slate of new beers and styles that they haven’t seen from Third Space in the past, alongside some core Third Space beers like Happy Place," brewmaster and co-founder Kevin Wright said in the release.

Third Space Innovation Brewhouse will be at the corner of Good Hope Road and Appleton Avenue in Menomonee Falls.

According to company officials, the brewery will be about 5,000 square feet and will include a 112-seat indoor taproom, a 10-barrel innovation brewery and a kitchen for food service.
