The problem with all the faux beer recipes isn't that the results taste bad ~ frankly, being an old Rolling Rock fan, I'm here to tell you there's more to it than taste ~ the big problem is the manufacturers inevitably pour malt barley flavor in to improve sales.

That's where they lose every last single Celiac or gluten intolerant (3.4% of the population) person in the country.

What do you define as “faux beer recipe”?

I hate to break this to you, but maltiness is one of the flavors that beer ought to have. A good beer balances malt and hops. Malted barely is also one of the key ingredients in beer. The enzymes in malted barely convert starches in the grains (wheat, barley, rice, or whatever) into the maltose that the wee little yeastie beasties so love.
