Dought & clear, - Ruling on non-alcoholic beer

Is it O.K. to drink non alcoholic beer?
The basic ruling on food and drink is that things are halaal, except
for those which are specifically described in sharee'ah as being
haraam, such as alcoholic drinks. If the drink includes any
intoxicating substance, it is haraam. On this basis it may be said
that beer (a drink made from barley), if it is intoxicating when drunk
in large amounts, then it is not permissible to drink it. It was
reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: "Every intoxicating substance is haraam."(Narrated by
al-Bukhaari, al-Ahkaam, 6637)And it was narrated that 'Aa'ishah said:
"The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: 'Every intoxicating substance is haraam, and whatever
intoxicates in large amounts, a handful of it is haraam.'"(Narrated by
al-Tirmidhi, al-Ashribah, 1789; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in
Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 1521). Al-Teebi said: " 'a handful of it' is
an expression meaning a small amount." And Allaah knows best.
