Welcome
You will find The Alma in the centre of Linton Village close to the spired church of St Mary with its ancient yew trees.  The pub gets its name from the Crimean War and the battle of the river Alma in 1854.  Parts of the building date from the early 17th century, but the feel inside is Victorian.The Alma is a traditional free house pub run by Dan and Gemma Evans since 2015.Emphasis is on providing a convivial atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable, from any age group and from all walks of life.  The Alma aims to be the hub of the local community, with well-supported pool and crib pub teams and regular social events.  We support local people, groups and businesses wherever we can.The pub is renowned for serving the highest quality drinks and specialises in real ale which is served in top condition.  Between the years 2001 – 2010 The Alma has been recognised five times in the CAMRA annual Pub of the Year awards in Herefordshire:
2001 Second Place
2002 First Place
2004 Best Country Pub
2005 Joint Winner and Best Country Pub
2010 Second Place

Regular Real Ales include Butcombe Bitter, Black Pear (Malvern Hills Brewery), JHB and Ludlow Gold, with an additional guest ale most weekends.  Guest beers tend to be drawn from the smaller and relatively local breweries.

Linton Festival®

The Alma also helps sponsor this festival (originally named “Linton Festival of Music and Ale”). The Festival is held each year in the grounds at the rear of the pub over the weekend closest to mid-summer’s day.The festival is very well run by an enthusiastic committee of volunteers. Their efforts have seen the festival go from strength to strength with more famous bands appearing, increased audiences from year to year and more money for local causes from the proceeds. Recent years have seen sell-out audiences of over 1000 visitors. A larger beer tent and token system have combined to keep everything flowing!
