I don't know the pedantic answer to "is that fermented food"

However, alcohol is quite an irritant and (along with caffeine) is the first thing a doc will tell you to cut out if you have intestinal problems

Speaking (only) from personal experience, it can be such an irritant that it more than outweigs the benefits of other probiotics and "good foods" -- even in small amounts (e.g. 1 drink)

There are also non alcoholic beers, which I have been exploring a bit. My favorite so far is athletic brewing's Run Wild IPA.
