I adapted this historical recipe based on an email conversation with Olympia Brewing Co. Brewmaster Paul Knight and the conversion of a 350 bbl batch documented in brewer's notes from Brew No. 63, brewed over 100 years ago on March 20, 1907 at the Olympia Brewery. The original Brew No. 63 was a pale lager of 3.6% ABW with 27 IBUs.
