Alcohol free beer is beer that was brewed as usual, then the alcohol got removed. Which is a very different thing than making a tart soda and calling it beer.
It’s the same thing as “lactose-free milk” vs. “almond milk”. One is produced by a cow (and an extra enzyme to split the lactose), the other by draining California’s water table.
In fact in Germany one particular type of – colloquially – beer, Malzbier, (alcohol free) is not allowed to be sold as beer because it contains added sugar, which isn’t allowed according to Germany’s definition of beer. Otherwise it’s actually brewed like beer, keeping the temperature such that the yeast doesn’t produce alcohol.
