The Albion Ale House or The Albion is a Grade II listed public house in Conwy, North Wales.[1] Built in 1921, it is a three-room pub with Art Nouveau decor that underwent major renovation in 2012.[2] The Albion is jointly operated by four North Wales breweries and real ales from these breweries and other beers are served through eight hand pumps.[3] The Albion Ale House was named the 2013 Wales Pub of the Year by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA),[4] and named one of the world's best bars by The Guardian.[5]
The four breweries that co-run The Albion are Conwy Brewery of Llysfaen, Bragdy Nant of Llanrwst, Great Orme Brewery of Llandudno, and Purple Moose Brewery of Porthmadog.[3]
Four breweries in North Wales operate the Albion Ale House together.
