My beer purchases are driven by two elements: price and taste. When price wins, I come home with James Ready or another recent favourite PC genuine lager (yes, really!). When taste wins, the old standby has been Creemore Springs Lager (the winner of a previous OAFE). In recent months though, McAuslan Pale Ale has taken...
