823 E Hamilton St, Milwaukee, WI 53202

Eagle Park Brewing Company runs a taproom at 823 E. Hamilton St. on Milwaukee's Lower East Side, and in January 2026 it became one of the few Wisconsin breweries to build its own non-alcoholic line from the ground up. That line, Solid State, followed more than a year of research and development aimed at making beers that genuinely taste like beer without the flavor loss that can come from stripping alcohol out of a finished batch. Co-owner Jake Schinker framed the approach plainly to Urban Milwaukee: "All of these beers are brewed like beer, because they are beer."

Instead of dealcoholizing, Eagle Park ferments Solid State with a specially engineered yeast that keeps every beer under 0.5% ABV. The launch lineup runs four styles — a Hazy IPA hopped with Citra and Mosaic, a Pale Ale built on Citra and Simcoe, a Mexican Lager with Lime, and a Cran-Orange Sour — all packaged in 12-ounce cans. Reviewing the set for Milwaukee Magazine, Chris Drosner wrote that the pale ale "drinks like an exceptionally light pale ale – one that, if it were, say, 4% ABV, people would call a crusher." The cans are listed on the taproom's current menu at about $6 for on-site drinking and $9 for a to-go six-pack, and the line also distributes across southeastern Wisconsin through Beer Capitol Distributing.

The Hamilton Street taproom is a full working brewery, so Solid State shares the room with Eagle Park's alcoholic beer rather than replacing it — this is a strong zero-proof option within a bar, not an alcohol-free venue. It's open Sunday 11 a.m.–9 p.m., Monday through Friday 3–10 p.m., and Saturday 11 a.m.–10 p.m., with all four Solid State beers available by the can and in to-go six-packs.

This beer is thin, yes, but it just drinks like an exceptionally light pale ale – one that, if it were, say, 4% ABV, people would call a crusher.
