This is not a thing I haven’t thought about (I used to brew beer and was rather proud of some of my imitations and minor innovations but the lack of a decent malt after discovering I was coeliac pretty much killed it) and I have thought that dry hopping would be an option after dealcoholising but I guess that the market is pretty small and lager types are all that really are sold in alcohol free beers. And they work pretty well without alcohol. As they do without gluten I think. Though what would constitute a great lager is not something I know.
Difficult to home brew successfully I have found, and also not something I’d bother trying to hard at…

And about as safe.

And yet it does happen.
I knew a guy in high school (Australia, 1980’s) who made a regular practice of dropping acid and then going down to the local police station to laugh at the cops. Never got busted 'cos they couldn’t be arsed dealing with the paperwork and hassle just to arrest a minor for public intoxication.
That’s Australia. There’s no equivalent to the good old American War On Drugs. I mean, it started to keep blonde girls from Minnesota from sleeping with jazz musicians, then evolved to trying to take voting rights away from hippies, and then it even started to get crazy.
