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 (Nov. 13)

EXCELLENT. normal stain; 71 degrees; 3.24 feet below pool. Good stacks of hybrids and white bass are being found on midlake points and drop offs along sandy flats throughout the dam area, Crappie Island, Key Ranch and the spillway humps in 11-17 feet. Cast spinners and slabs and look for schooling fish on these flats as well as deeper seawalls and shorelines. Fish any hump in 14-22 feet throughout the lake to find fish stacked up in schools as the day warms up. Look for schooling fish on cloudy days. The birds have shown up as the weather has cooled off and we are seeing more of these on a regular basis when it is cloudy. Use spinnerbaits or drop a slab down to the bottom and work it fast up and down and the fish will hit it immediately. Also throwing out a slab and reeling it back with a slow retrieve is also working well. Cast rattle traps, Spoons, Umbrella Rigs, slabs or sassy shads to get the hybrids to bite. The crappie bite has been getting better. Target crappie with small jigs and minnows in 5-12 feet under bridge pylons, hidden brush piles throughout the lake or under docks. Crappie fisherman have been moving spot to spot finding limits. You may catch 4-5 and then have to move on to another spot on some days. Limits are being reported, although guides have been reporting conditions are improving with bigger sized fish being caught. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Catfish bite remains good drifting cut bait over flats adjacent to the creek channels in 15-25 feet, or in 2-6 feet on windblown banks and points. There are still some fish on main lake humps in the 12-20 feet using small fresh shad. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
