Brewing a 'Near Beer' or 'Cereal Beverage'

[JoeMama]

I guess this would constitute one of those "Why in the hell did you post this crap" kind of threads but it was prompted by a serious post from another poster. (No this isnt a troll job, just an off the wall question)

Is it (and what would be the procedure) for brewing a non-alcoholic type of beverage that tastes strikingly similar to a real brew. Of course this totally defeats the purpose of brewing, but it had to be asked.

Hey, at least its not a "Are fake beards legal in MMA" threads. <--- That one had me rolling.

There are some related threads here on the forum. It's not impossible, but to make something decent might take some work.

Personally if I were going to make it, I'd consider making a low alcohol beer instead of a true NA beer just to have a more beer like flavor.

GAH! You ruined my perfectly good troll attempt!

Interesting though, even more interesting that others have thought of this before me.
Thanks!

We're playing around with warning labels...this seems fitting

Revvy - Nice label, but not scary enough.
You know, need a picture of fire and brimstone kind of thing, maybe a take off from death brewers avitar.
