Kvass, the undistilled Russian beverage made out of fermented rye bread may be another example.

Kvass is not an alcoholic beverage.

Kvass is not an alcoholic beverage.

Wikipedia (it's not the authority in everything -- I know -- but it's convenient) says:

Kvass (literally "leaven"; borrowed in the 16th century from Russian квас), sometimes translated into English as bread drink, is a fermented mildly alcoholic beverage made from black or rye bread.

Of course, just as there are non-alcoholic "near beers" and Coca-Cola doesn't contain cocaine anymore, there may be varieties of kvass with no alcoholic content.
