I guess that any beverage called "beer", alcohol free or not, is not part of the Refreshment Package then. Non-alcoholic beer containes an ABV "AlcoholByVolume" of not more than 0.05 per cent alcohol.
This from Heineken:
As stated on its label, Heineken® 0.0 has an alcohol by volume of 0.0% and is considered alcohol free. Heineken® 0.0 contains a trace amount of alcohol ranging from 0.01 to 0.03% ABV, which is a comparable or lower level of alcohol content as compared to the alcohol content commonly found in food products such as breads, fruits and juices. Heineken® 0.0’s formula, alcohol content, and its label, have been reviewed and approved by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau in accordance with the regulations applicable to alcohol free malt beverages.
A study by the University of Kaiserslautem looked a wide range of foods and identified the grams of alcohol contained per 100g (3.5 Oz.)of various foods where 1g of alcohol per 100g (3.5 Oz.) equals 1% ABV. Their research came up with some interesting results:
