One of the area's oldest breweries has announced it will cease operations in Seven Points.
Founded by Jim Elliot, Cedar Creek Brewery launched its products in August 2012. From there, the company quickly gained notoriety by becoming one of the first local breweries in the new craft era (post-2011) to win a medal at the Great American Beer Festival, taking gold for Wobbly, a Belgian-style dubbel in 2013.
Of course, Cedar Creek was probably best known for Dankosaurus, a West Coast-inspired IPA brewed "with enough hops...to bury a Brontosaurus." Over the years, this beer spawned many variants, the popularity of which led to an annual celebration of its lineage called Dank Daze.
Later in its history, Cedar Creek explored business opportunities outside of Seven Points, eventually expanding to a second location in 2021. However, Cedar Creek Brewhouse & Eatery in Farmers Branch closed after just one year due to operational difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
From a social media post:
"After 13 wonderful years together, the time has come for a new chapter. Cedar Creek Brewery will officially close its doors on Saturday, October 4th.
We are beyond grateful for your loyalty, support, and the community you’ve built with us. You’ve made Cedar Creek Brewery more than just a place to grab a pint, you’ve made it a family.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for 13 amazing years of beer, friendship, and memories."
According to the note, the site was sold to Fig's Restaurant Group, an entity planning open a new concept in the space.
