I understand your point of view but it literally says “low-alkohol beer” in description.
There are ones with 0% alc available but for most of us, addicts, they do no good, better stay away from it.
Non alcoholic beer tends to make people crave the real deal. I was never a beer drinker but do avoid anything reminding me of wine.
Some do find it helpful though. It’s one of those things that will never stop being controversial.
I don’t even drink apple juice anymore because it looks like wine 
FYI
To be classed as alcohol free beer or wine (0.0%) in the UK it must have no more than 0.05% ABV which is way, way less than you get in a 10ml spoon of popular cold and flu syrups. Which range from 10% to 28% V/V, which is the same as ABV.
So, a 330ml (11 oz) bottle of 0.05% beer contains no more than 0.165 ml of alcohol usually much less. Which equates to 0.165 UK units or 33/2000s.
10ml of cough syrup contains between 1ml to 2.8ml of alcohol.
So, always read the label.
I’ve been sober for quite a while (21.5y) and I drink 0.0% beer occasionally and it has never triggered me.
But, as we’re all different, what’s sauce for the goose is not always sauce for the gander.
If you think it might trigger then don’t take the chance especially in early sobriety.
Never jeopardise your sobriety guard it jealousy and put it above all else.
Stay strong, stay safe and above all else stay sober.

Edit: @Ndogg they don’t add alcohol to low alcohol or 0.0% beer or wine it’s just a result of whatever brewing process they use.
Others are correct in pointing out that it says in that specification that it is a “low” alcohol beer, not “non”
With the non alcoholic beers it reads <0.05%, this does not mean it has 0.05% alcohol, that value is just the lower limit of the instrument used for detection.
So there is a lawsuit against henikene 0 beer,
a ripe banana might have more alcohol, but these non alcoholic beers are different you drink them in a social environment, and that feeling will come back
Length of sobriety, how you’re consuming them and why you’re consuming them are the factors for me wether or not they lead to real cravings.
I tried these once (and drank a bunch like real beers) and failed in early sobriety. This time around I think I had like 3.5 years of sobriety and had one. It was good, I didn’t want another. I’ll have one of them once in a great while now (6 years sober this month). They do not create cravings for me now, I never have a second one. I bought a 6 pack of these 1.5 years ago, I have 4 left still.
These NA drinks can be a very slippery slope in early sobriety. I personally would avoid for a couple of years, but some people do alright with them earlier. I view it as risky unless you’re very sturdy in recovery but that’s just my 2 cents.
At the end of the day we are responsible for ourselves and our own sobriety and sober journey. If you feel NA beer would be triggering then don’t drink NA beer. I always drank to get shitfaced drunk so I look at NA beer or mocktails as useless to me and I avoid them. I have met others who say mocktails and NA beers give them some normalcy when out in social settings. To each their own on this one but yes for some they could definitely be triggering.
Personally I stay away from anything alcohol related even na stuff, i don’t even eat food with alcohol added to it…I just do not want it in my system whatsoever so why would I drink something that is made to taste and look like it..that’s my take…its far too much like dipping my toe.
I tried NA beers also in my early days of sobriety.
I thought that it would help me with cravings but it really left me with a sense of cheating and it was definitely a crutch than I didn’t need.
I also looked at the % of alcohol on the labels and decided it was too much temptation as I tried to remove all alcohol around me.
In the end I moved onto flavored waters and that worked well for me.
Once in a while I’ll order a NA beer at a restaurant but I like the beer flavor less and less. It is quite possible that I made myself like the taste of beer for all the wrong reasons. That’s my story 
The NA drinks are trash. 
Just like regular alcohol is trash.
I’m not trying to be sassy about it. I’m simply stating how I personally feel about them. 
There are many threads on nonalcoholic beer and drinks.
A post was merged into an existing topic: Checking in daily to maintain focus #80
O’Douls does. I noticed that a decade ago.
I know there are very few 0% beers.
In my sobriety, ive had half of one a few years ago. Tasted, the hold, i even remember feeling more calm.
I was also in a bar setting, in the afternoon, talking with the next person over.
Had half, ate my food, then went home. Never touching it an NA again.
I feel bad for those who drank a 0.5% beer in sobriety. It could cause a mental break. Maybe not bring a person to there knees, but yeah, I understood.
I personally wont touch an NA beer again..
It definitely created that calm trigger.
I tried NA beers, mainly to see what they were all about. After several different brands/flavors I came to the conclusion that, for me, it was a bit too placebo-ish. Or like Cas said a sense of “cheating” almost.
While I think everyone’s sobriety is their sobriety, for me I decided it was walking too close to that line.
There were, at times, in the days after an NA beer where my body felt one of those early sensations of withdrawal, but wasn’t withdrawal… or was it? Enough fiction to make me say no, I like the path I’m on too much.
Edit: plus I’d rather spend my money on other things. Bike parts. Dog treats. Cheese.
this conversation feels like splitting hairs .5%? sheesh
and sooooo many threads about the same topic where you can read the same discussion over and over again.
Such is the internet. Some of us are new here
