Question has risen regards to non-alcholic beer from the Muslim community.
It is stated in a Hadith, ” Whoever imitates a nation is from them.” Therefore actions that are done in imitation of disbelievers are severely disliked.
If the drink definitely has no alcohol content and is free from haram substances then consumption of the drink itself is permissible but the action of drinking will be severely disliked (Makruh At Tahrimi) if done to imitate disbelievers.

Some information on this area from Drink Aware regarding non-alcholic beer
Alcohol-free and low alcohol beers are designed to match the taste, look and feel of standard beers – and recent advances in production technology mean you are much more likely to find one that you enjoy.
The main difference between alcoholic, low alcohol and alcohol-free beer is the amount of alcohol they contain:
- Most ‘alcohol-free’ beer contains 0.05% alcohol by volume (ABV), or less
Many, although not all, producers follow government guidance that says alcohol-free drinks may contain up to 0.05% ABV.2 (Sometimes these types of drinks might be described as ‘zero alcohol’, or ‘0.0’ too).
But because the guidance is voluntary, in practice you might see alcohol-free labelled drinks that are up to 0.5% ABV for sale. A half-litre can (500ml) of a 0.5% ABV beer would contain– 0.25 units of alcohol (a quarter of a unit of alcohol). - Low alcohol beer contains 1.2% ABV, or less
Government guidance on low alcohol drinks sold in the UK says they shouldn’t be more than 1.2% ABV.3 A half-litre can of 1.2% ABV beer has 0.6 units of alcohol (6 ml of pure alcohol) - The average strength of conventional beers is 4.4% ABV
The average strength of conventional beers and lagers sold in the UK is 4.4% ABV.4 A half-litre can of 4.4% ABV beer contains 2.2 units of alcohol (22 ml of pure alcohol).
