There are tons of answers to this. search yeast cultivating or harvesting.
I just cultured yeast from a Dogfish 120 minute. Drank most the bottle and dumped the rest into a starter on stirplate and stepped it up a couple times. Worked great. I used it to bottle a 15% ABV experimental brew with.

cool. i tried to make the process look as easy as it actually is, hope it's helpful. if you have any questions, PM me and hopefully i can help.
I have heard that some breweries actually protect their yeast strain by using a "bottling yeast" for carbonation. Just make sure your getting the "real" yeast from your fav. brew. Cheers!

I used this method to harvest some yeast from 4 bottle of SNPA, it worked great!!
yeah, it really does. it takes some time if you do it right, but it's fun and easy.
