Milwaukee's Third Space Brewing is opening a second location in Menomonee Falls

Milwaukee's Third Space Brewing is planning to open a second location in Menomonee Falls.

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.

What is Fussville Station?

Fussville Station is a new mixed-use development that will house retail space, 173 apartments and additional restaurant space, according to village documents. Developers are planning for an opening sometime in 2024.

Will Third Space Innovation Brewhouse be different than its Milwaukee location?

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.

Where will Third Space Innovation Brewhouse be located?

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

How big will Third Space Innovation Brewhouse be?

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.

Will there be outdoor seating?

There will be a large covered outdoor patio with fire pits.

Will Third Space Innovation Brewhouse be hiring?

Yes, Third Space Innovation Brewhouse will be hiring team members for managerial, kitchen and taproom positions.
