From The Tap

Some places will offer you as many as 30 beers on draught with no way to guarantee the freshness or quality of any particular pint. At the Imperial, our multi-keg draught lines deliver a select few beers, ensuring that each sip is as cold and as delicious as possible. We are now very proudly serving up the finest independent local brews, with a few easy drinking exceptions from around Canada. An extensive selection of bottled beers (domestic, premium and imported) is also available.

CURRENT WHITE WINES
 

From the Andes, Bio Bio Valley, Chile:

2006 L'Arista Chardonnay

• Buttery smooth with vanilla notes and a dry, oaky finish.

2006 L'Arista Sauvignon Blanc 

• Lighter than L'Arista's Chardonnay, but with ample citrus and fresh-cut grass aromas. Perfect for a sunny day on the patio. 

From Western Austraila:

2006 Billy Goat Hill
                  Sauvignon Blanc Semillon

• Dry, light and elegant. Offers an attractive aroma of gooseberry and citrus fruit persisting to a clean and refreshing finish.

CURRENT RED WINES

From the Andes, Bio Bio Valley, Chile:

2005 L'Arista Cabernet Sauvingnon 

• Blood red and deeply flavourful. Lots of fruit without being remotely "Jammy."

2005 L'Arista Merlot

• Soft and light in emulation of the best French efforts with this noble grape from Bordeaux.

From Western Austraila:

2005 Billy Goat Hill Cabernet Sauvignon  

• Medium bodied and not too overpowering with alcohol, oak or sweetness. A very well balanced wine.

2005 Harvey River Bridge Shiraz

• A truly "big" Shiraz: Rich, bold and beyond fruity with blackberry notes and a dry finish.
  

SPARKLING WINES:
