Non-alcoholic beer is four types-alchohol free beer which contains a maximum of 0.5% Alchohol, de alchoholiced beer which contains a maximum of 0.5% beer and low alchohol beer which contains a maximum of 1.2% beer. So, although non-alcoholic beer contains a lower amount of alchohol as compared to regular beer. It still isn't alchohol free
