In the United States , beverages containing less than 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV) were legally called non-alcoholic, according to the now-defunct Volstead Act . Because of its very low alcohol content, non-alcoholic beer may be legally sold to minors in many American states.
In the United Kingdom , the following definitions apply by law (correct as of May 2007):
In some parts of the European Union , beer must contain no more than 0.5% ABV if it is labelled "alcohol-free".
Kirin Free , produced by Kirin Brewery Company of Japan , contains 0.00% ABV . This beer is produced without fermentation . Non-alcoholic beer is a safe substitute to traditional full bodied alcoholic beers. These brews are good for situations where a person would enjoy the taste of beer without the inebriating effects of standard alcoholic brews.
