One thing I wish was a bigger thing in the States was more near beer like options. You basically have two choices for low alcohol beer when it comes to that in the States: you either buy the most watered down thing available which is usually around 3.5% or you buy N/A ( Having lived in Sweden a bit who has better approach around this I can say it’s much nicer - Systembolaget has options for pretty much any percentage…
Try Ketohol, it's gaining popularity. You get a slight buzz and no crummy feeling afterwards. Active ingredient is called 1-3-butanediol, breaks down into a ketone which is easily processed by the body. Unlike alcohol which breaks down into acetylaldehyde, nasty stuff. Downsides are cost, availability, taste (not great) and buzz is not as strong as alcohol.
That... sounds too good to be true?

is pretty popular in many former USSR states, and can be easily made at home. I have no idea if you will like the taste, I'm used to it from childhood. It has 1-2% alcohol and gives a slight buzz if you drink liters of it (which I tend to do in summer).

Beyond the concerns that have already been raised this is also a substance that is pretty untested at these dosages for ingestion. Side effects are unknown. But who knows, maybe it’s like vaping: we know that it’s probably bad for you to some extent, but most people are on a consensus that it’s probably not worse than cigarette smoking

I think kombucha used to have 1-ish percent or more but they were made to get rid of most of the alcohol.
