USA, MO: Prehistoric Brewing Co already open in Springfield

Craft breweries in Springfield hit double digits with the June 5 opening of Prehistoric Brewing Co. LLC, the Springfield Business Journal reported on July 7.

The 10th local brewery is in the Plaza Shopping Center at 1816 S. Glenstone Ave.

Charley Norton, who co-owns the venture with Keith Davis, said they invested around $500,000 to startup, and the space includes a viewing area to observe the brewing process.

Construction and COVID-19-related restrictions delayed opening the 3,500-square-foot brewery, Norton said. Occupancy limits are currently being observed amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Norton said they plan to have an outdoor seating area complete within a few months.

The owners are on a five-year lease for an undisclosed rate with KPAC Registered LLLP.
