Obtaining strains from USDA's NRRL yeast bank

[ira Edwards]

hello,

I realize that most of the people on this NG are in academic research
positions, but I figured one of you might have the answer to my query.

I am in the planning stages of a brewpub and am looking for sources for
unusual brewing strains to experiment with.

I have found several that interest me from USDA's NRRL catalog, but have
been unable to contact anyone there about obtaining these strains.  If
anyone out there knows how I might go about this, I would appreciate your
insight.

thanks in advance,
-Ira Edwards
