not sure where you live but atm, in the UK, the range of non-alcoholic beers is superb. Off the top of my head:

* Brew-dog Nanny State

* Erdinger blue

* big drop pale ale

* big drop stout

* Franziskaner 0.5

* adnams ghost ship

are all available in my local Tesco and all pretty great.

Almost every bar now has the usual alcohol free becks/heineken - but i must admit, like their lagers, they are pretty grim drinks, but i am finding that more and more are stocking nanny state or erdinger

Erdinger alcohol-free is the best non-alcoholic beer I've tasted. I think wheat-beer works better than plain barley-beer, because it avoids the thin and watery mouth-feel so many non-alcoholic beers have. Nanny State is disappointing IMO, with lots of hops and not much else, although it might be useful for blending.
