Buckle up, beer enthusiasts! Third Space Brewing is brewing up some frothy news that’s surely going to give your pint glasses purpose. Prepare to expand your beer horizons and make a little more room in your craft beer-loving hearts, because the Third Space Innovation Brewhouse is the new kid on the block—except this ‘kid’ is fully grown and ready to party with a year-round location that’s just as bubbly and welcoming as their flagship taproom in Milwaukee.

Tapping Into New Territories

Imagine you’re embarking on a hop-fueled voyage to the wonderful world of Menomonee Falls, where the corner of Good Hope Road and Appleton Ave is soon to become a beer lover’s beacon. Yes, we are talking about a splashing new chapter in the annals of ale—an Innovation Brewhouse that will proudly place its kegs amongst 173 futuristic apartments and an array of buzzworthy retail and restaurant spaces.

But it’s not just about quantity here—it’s quality that makes the Third Space Brewing family so darn special. You’ll be treated to a 10-barrel innovation brewery complete with a kitchen that’s revving up to dish out tasty grub to accompany your suds.

The Original Happy Place

Let’s rewind to September 2016, where founders Andy Gehl and Kevin Wright unleashed the happy hops beast upon Milwaukee’s Menomonee River Valley. Third Space Brewing’s flagship brewery and taproom raised the bar, becoming a local legend where ‘third space’ meant dazzling events and thirsty regulars found their flavor oasis.

Speaking of flavors, we’re not just frothing about any old beer here. We’ve got iconic pours like Happy Place Midwest Pale Ale and the cloud-nine-level Heavenly Haze Hazy IPA—both firm Wisconsin craft beer darlings.

More Than Just a Pint—A Third Space Experience

Gehl, our captain of ale and ambiance, croons proudly about their brand’s warm embrace throughout Wisconsin. Yes, their original taproom is the crescendo of buzz with the likes of Wisconsin IPA Fest and the cool-as-ice Ice Bear Fest. And, oh, those loyal regulars? They’ve claimed their chairs and unlatched their growlers to make Third Space Brewing a true home away from home.

Yet, the secret sauce in this brewery’s cask is its knack for attracting more than just the destination-driven drink devotees. The new Menomonee Falls space promises to sprinkle some of that irresistible Third Space charm onto the locals’ everyday lives, spilling over a community cup brimming with innovation and good cheer.

A Designer Destination for Beer Aficionados

Close your eyes and picture this: a massive 5,000 square foot space echoing with laughter, clinking glasses, and the alluring scent of freshly poured craft beer. The new premises will be a haven complete with a 112-seat indoor taproom, a breezy covered outdoor patio for those sunny days, and who could say no to flickering fire pits? Certainly not I, dear reader!

The walls are already coming up, folks, and by June 2024, we’ll all be raising glasses at the grand opening. Amid the planks and pillars, plans brew for design dreams and team schemes, as Third Space partners with Three Sixty for the taproom’s vibe and starts the hunt for top-tier talent to fill managerial, kitchen, and taproom roles.

The Science of the Sip

Let’s not forget the heartbeat of this operation—Brewmaster Kevin Wright. Like a true potion master, Wright will be at the cauldron’s helm, stirring up an alchemic array of innovative brews. Alongside some Third Space staples, craft beer zealots can expect an orchestra of new beers dancing on their taste buds in ways only an Innovation Brewhouse could engineer.

Roll Out the Barrel: The Third Space Story

Third Space Brewing is not just a brewery—it’s the fabric of the community woven with high-quality, supremely balanced craft beer. Wright and Gehl, longtime chums turned brewers, have stitched together a patchwork of inclusivity, creating a ‘third space’ where everyone can savor the craft beer magic.

Since its doors swung open, accolades have adorned their mantle like prized beer steins—from Great American Beer Festival medals to a nod as the Best Microbrewery from the locals. Touting a rapid rise as one of the top 50 fastest growing craft breweries in the nation, Third Space didn’t just expand its reputation—it stretched across Wisconsin’s entire beer landscape.

Expanding Beyond Ales and Lagers

It’s not just about having more taps. Third Space delved deep into the brew kettle when they selected gear that punched up their prowess in the beer style battle royale. It’s like donning cape and suit—we’re talking superhero-level upgrades!

And Wright? He’s more than a brewmaster; he’s a local—five years and counting! Bringing this new taproom expansion to his backyard is a tip of the hat, a toast to Menomonee Falls, inviting everyone to be part of the Third Space Brewing narrative, changing the game one sip at a time.
