Non Alcoholic Beer?

When you have to give up drinking due to alcohol intolerance bringing on a migraine within a half hour of drinking any beer, wine, spirits etc a cold bottle of Cobra Zero or Becks Blue is a bloody nice thing to have on a summers eve after you get home from work.
Problem is finding the non alcoholic stuff as it is not stocked in supermarkets round here.
Any links etc as to where Bitburger Drive can be found would be gratefully received.

My mum has suffered with migraines for years now and only recently found a tablet which really works for her. She was having to avoid alcohol, lots of different foods seem to kick it off, and I guess tiredness, stress etc all had their part to play too.
I know that its opened up my mums life as she was getting 3-4 migraines a week and just having to try and combat the pain with horribly strong painkillers which ended up making her feel nauseous.
The doctor isnt keen on her having the pills she has now as there could be other serious side effects (leaving her more open to other serious illness long term), but she's prepared to take that risk for the relief she has finally found in being able to have a normal day to day life with the foods and drinks she chooses - it's been years she's put up with it.

Firstly thanks Whitechief for the linky 
Secondly, Dom I am lucky to not be the person I spoke about in my earlier post, it is Judas my OH. However my mum suffered from migraine too and has to avoid most of the triggers. Hers took her out for 7 days every month when we were growing up, excruciating head pain that a darkened room only helped a little, frozen peas were recruited too! Eventually Zomig was the drug that helped her if she caught it in time.
They are very unpleasant and Judas is managing them ok as long as he doesn't suffer too much stress. Alcohol has pretty much become an instant no-no unless he is exceptionally chilled out, which doesn't happen very often with his job unfortunately.
Hopefully these drugs will help your mum. Please wish her all the best from me.
