Anyone know what yeast is in this beer? Is my assumption that I could harvest the yeast from this since it's unfiltered correct? Though maybe the high ABV could negatively impact the viability of the leftover yeast...
 
I believe Stone uses WLP007 (Dry English Ale) for Enjoy By.

You could harvest it since this batch is unfiltered but I personally wouldn't...too high ABV and too many hops that could stress the yeast.

I assume you would be using the yeast for a big IPA, or some similar beer, so you want to make sure you have nice happy healthy yeast to get the job done.
 
I had thought about it myself before. I have only gotten growlers filled of it but if you have bottles and something is on bottom you might try. I don't feel like there is any secret to their yeast except that it's an English strain.
