Cedar Creek Brewery to release new beer




Cedar Creek Brewery in Seven Points is set to release an IPA as its fourth year-round beer.

This East Texas homage to West Coast IPAs is called Dankosaurus and features bold pine, citrus, peach and tangerine hop flavors balanced by a velvety malt backbone of US 2-row and German Munich. The IPA is dry-hopped with 15 lbs per batch of a blend of experimental hop 05256, Apollo, and Bravo to impart a fruity, dank aroma.

Dankosaurus will initially be available on draft only the week of 3/24 in the Dallas market, with other markets to follow. It will be available in 16oz four-packs in early April 2014.

The beer is 6.8% alcohol by volume.

Cedar Creek Brewery is about an hour southeast of Dallas in Seven Points, Texas. The brewery began its life two years ago with used dairy equipment, ingenuity, and duct tape.

The original 10 bbl brewhouse is still being used, but the original tanks have since been upgraded to 20 bbl and 30 bbl conical fermenters, with plans for further expansion this year.

The brewery's heated and cooled taproom is open weekends, with free brewery tours at 1pm and 3pm every Saturday.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 15)

GOOD. stained; 50 degrees; 2.61 feet below pool. The hybrid and white bass winter deadsticking bite is now in full swing! Use half ounce to 1-1/2 ounce jigs with 4-5 inch plastic flukes depending on what the winds are and drift long lengths of the lake in the deepest water 35-50 feet. Drift at speeds of .2-.6 mph using your drift mode on your trolling motor or using drift socks. If the winds are not too bad you can just drift with the wind. Thumping on the bottom of your boat will attract fish and group them up underneath as you drift. Utilizing a splasher also works well with thumping. You will find the fish suspended between 22-28 feet when deadstricking. Look for Birds and Loons early mornings on shallow flats as the fish will come up to follow the bait and feed early especially on cloudier/colder days. The crappie bite has been tough with reports of fish being scattered. Target crappie with small jigs and minnows in 7-15 feet under bridge pylons, hidden brush piles throughout the lake or under docks. Crappie fisherman have been moving spot to spot finding limits. Lots of crappies in the 7-9 inch range. Limits of crappie will happen but you may catch a lot of small ones getting to your limit. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Still 2.7 low and water temps are in the 50 degree range give or take a degree with the clarity being stained to slightly stained heading south. The best bite is now drifting from 18 to 35' using cut shad or rough fish along the bottom. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
