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.
