Moonlight's Old Combine

[SonomaBrewer]

Old Combine is a wonderful 4-grain lager produced by Moonlight Brewing in Santa Rosa (barley, oats, wheat and rye). The grains are in perfect balance to create a rich, malt-forward lager that is only mildly bitter and lightly flavor hopped with some earthy hops.

Has anyone tried brewing Old Combine or a similar full-body zero-adjunct 4-grain recipe that focuses on flavor? Amidst the West Coast IPA craze I suspect lagers like this will soon be favorites around the country.

Thanks for posting, never heard of that brewery. I'm going to try to brew something similar, I have large quantity of grain that needs to be used up, so why not?
I found a recipe to get started 65.5% Pilsner, then 11.5% Wheat oats and rye. I'll be using all malted grains:

If you're ever in the Bay Area, make a trip to Moonlight. Turns out they are actually Sonoma's longest standing brewery now, older than Russian River, Bear Republic and others.

Agree with the "why not" strategy here. Combine the grains to play to their strengths! Let me know how it turns out.
