In a press conference early Wednesday morning, Richard Yeungling confirmed rumors which have been circulating for the past week. "Dr. Swivelstein of the Alaskan Wilderness Institute recently contacted me to inform our company of the discovery of a clandestine brewery operated by Anuun Kapik of the Tlingit Nation. This brewery has supposedly been in operation since the mid-1600's, so...we're not the oldest anymore."
After the conclusion of these two sentences, Mr. Yeungling folded up his remarks and exited the conference. Press correspondents, including those sent by this publication, were left confused as to what the future of the company would be. At this point in time, D.G. Yeungling & Son have kept to their previously scheduled production.
Once Mr. Yeungling was gone, Mr. Kapik took the stage to discuss the future of his brewery. "Well, I never even knew about the world outside of "Alaska," as you whites call it, until last week. However, I think it would be in everyone's best interest if I incorporated our facility immediately." He went on to say, "My sons and I have been talking, and I think we have settled on Kapik & Sons as our title."
This statement caused quite a stir among those present, as it is almost the name of Yeungling's company verbatim, but Mr. Kapik was quick to dispell any notions of copy-catting. "Hey, my sons work there - all eleven of them. We were also here first...so Mr. Yeungling can (expletive) deal with it. Our beer is better, anyways."
Editor's Note: Mr. Kapik mandated that Yeungling and their logo could not be used in conjunction with his image. Therefore, we provided the "circle-slash" in order to protect ourselves legally.
