Noon Gun Brewery’s story began in 2015 when they converted a behemoth of a storage facility into a beer-brewing powerhouse. As 2017 progressed, their vision materialised in front of their eyes, and the various gold and amber liquid legacies have been made their way into taprooms, restaurants, outlets and bars around the Western Cape – and now, across South Africa. In 2018 Noon Gun began winning local awards for their beer range, and in 2019 they became internationally recognised with two of their beers winning top awards at the European Beer Challenge in London.
The General is Noon Gun’s 18-Pounder Session IPA (India Pale Ale) alcohol-free twin. Brewed the same way, born the same way – the only difference is that The General is the “good guy” non-alcoholic beer. Thus far, no one has been able to tell the difference between the sibling variants.

Zero Drinks say:
As far as we know this is the only non-alcoholic IPA in South Africa. It’s a brilliant beer and gaining recognition, recently winning the double gold award at the Aurora International Tasting Challenge. The General is a full bodied beer with distinctive fruity and refreshing tropical tones.
If you enjoy an IPA or Pale Ale, you'll love this one!
