  While not exhaustive, countries that observe strict Islamic law, [such as Iran](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_in_Iran), do not allow the production of alcoholic beverages.
  
  In the case of Iran, there are some companies that produce non-alcoholic beer, but none that produce a traditional alcoholic beer.
