Combining German brewing tradition with Costa Rican tastes. Since 1924 Costa Rica's favorite beer has been Imperial. Made with a combination of two row and specialty malts, grains, and hops, it has a pleasing touch of bitterness. Golden yellow in color, with a light body and silky texture, Imperial has a clean, refreshing taste. Imperial is the No. 1 selling beer in Costa Rica and is considered the 'Beer of Costa Rica'.
