Chuckanut yeast

[homerbruer]

Just had lunch and some good brews at Chuckanut in Bellingham, WA. (Nice to see German styles In the works.)
In talking brewing with our bartender, he mentioned that you can bring in a jug and they'll give you yeast. They have Lager and Ale strains. Sounds awesome. Anyone have experience with this at Chuckanut, or similar offerings at other craft brewers?

That's awesome, IIRC they brought some of their strains back from Europe

They use 34/70 for their lagers and they have a propriety Kolsch strain. I can't remember which blog it was on, but their brewmaster said they don't give out their Kolsch strain.

Thanks for the info. Looking forward to listening to the show.
I also just stumbled upon a Bellingham Homebrewers Guild thread about getting some yeast.
