Blackened Yuengling?

The is/was a New Orleans beer/brewer, Dixie, that was damaged during
Katrina (among the more-nationally-/internationally-famous bottlings
was "Blackened Voodoo") and I've heard that Yuengling is among the
"regional" brewers that might help get production underway.

I'm not sure how it can produced anywhere else without moving (or
installing new) the cypress vats, but ??? And if anyone is a (original)
Dixie fan and has been going through withdrawal for it's unique flavor,
I've had the Abita "Restoration Ale" and it reminds me of Dixie. The
Abita website, http://www.abita.com/brew/restoration.html, makes no
mention of anything "Dixie-ish" or cypress-aging, but it sure tastes
vaguely similar to my non-beer-expert palate - YMMV.

This should be good news for friend Jeff Miller. I well remember when I
first laid eyes on Jeff, he was entering the cabin of Clave Central at
the first Roff Clave and was carrying a six pack of Dixie Blackened
Voodoo Lager Beer and I thought I just know I am going to like this
guy. He has been a good friend ever since and we need to get together
to share a few six packs again. Perhaps we will run into each other
again somewhere around Jellystone next summer.

Yeah. I am still kicking myself for not going this summer and I have a
friend that spent most of September there this year. God that area is
very special and I just with it did not take me three days to drive
each way to get there. Still, I thought of it several times a day
during August here when it was over 105 degrees each day.

Your friend wasn't alone, BD. I spent all of September in Yellowstone and Grand
Teton, and I've never seen Yellowstone so crowded. I heard that the 1st 2 weeks
of September are getting to be the busiest times, and that the week before Labor
day is the least busy 'summer' week.

Dale - I thought of you a few weeks ago, and wondered if you'd ever make
it back to the Smokies. Motorcycles were everywhere in Graham County
this October, more than I've ever seen (or heard) before. The tail of
the Dragon is apparently a national draw. As I was walking along Big
Snowbird road, a young fella from Texas and his attractive female
companion stopped me and asked how to get to it. They had just driven
in from Texas, with their motorcycles in an enclosed trailer, for the
sole purpose of riding the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway. I'm afraid
Graham County has been "discovered"...it's even got a McDonalds now
(attached to a convenience store/Bass Pro shop) and, sadly, Tooties is
gone, replaced by some kind of express diner. I assume the weekly
bluegrass by locals is also gone. Heck, I even got caught in a bit of a
traffic jam at the stoplight by Ingles.

Jeff: your post makes me think of something my Dad once told me. Our
family had a tradition of saving a few days to enjoy Red River, New
Mexico on the end of each of our vacations dating back to the early
50's and once in the early 60's he simply said "They ruined that town
when they paved a road to it." There are certainly some very special
corners of the world that are ruined by too many people 'discovering"
them.

Now that my "new" BMW bike is now 20 years old, I am thinking of buying
another bike. Might try a Harley this time.

and i'm hoping it'll carry you to graham county one of these days when
i'm in the area. the sound of your motorcycle (with you on it, of
course) will always be welcome noise wherever i happen to be.
