Third Space Brewing

Third Space Brewing anchors Milwaukee's Menomonee Valley with a production brewery and a bright, family- and dog-friendly taproom, and, unusually for a beer-first operation, it brews a genuine non-alcoholic pour of its own. Happy Water is a zero-proof sparkling hop water built on the same hop blend as the brewery's Happy Place Midwest Pale Ale, carrying that beer's tropical-fruit, blueberry, and apricot character with none of the alcohol. It has poured on tap in the taproom since 2019 at just a dollar or two a glass, giving designated drivers, pregnant guests, and the sober-curious a hop-forward option in a room built for beer.

The brewery has since packaged the idea for takeaway: a canned Mosaic Lime Hop Water 6-pack, sold through its online shop, is described as a crisp sparkling water with a burst of Mosaic hops and natural lime. Both are true non-alcoholic hop waters rather than low-ABV beers, so a non-drinker can order confidently at the bar or stock the fridge at home. Alongside the beer program, the taproom runs regular trivia, live music, and a seasonal beer garden.

Third Space remains firmly in business in 2026. Its Milwaukee taproom keeps daily hours, its review listings are freshly updated, and the company has been expanding, opening the Innovation Brewhouse restaurant and taproom in Menomonee Falls and launching a new West Allis beer garden at Liberty Heights Park in June 2026. For a visitor mapping out alcohol-free options in Milwaukee, it's a rare stop: a working craft brewery where the house non-alcoholic choice is made with the same care as the beer.
