Maltose is the name for the sugars collected from grains (usually malted barley) and is a fundamental ingredient in beer. Maltose is also known as malt sugar or malt extract.
Obtaining the maltose from the grains is done by the procedure called Mashing. If you purchase a homebrew kit or malt extract (in liquid or dried form), the mashing has already been done for you. The collected sugars (maltose) from the grains are dehydrated into either a syrup or a powder for you to add the beer you are brewing at home. When you add liquid or dry malt extract to your brew (or 'wort' in brewing terminology), or if you create a wort by adding water to the canned brew kit you bought then you are using maltose to make your beer.

If you can find whole grains in the supermarket (wheat, rice, barley etc.) Make sure to dry roast the grains very well in a skillet before the MASH. Because the grains are not malted you would need to add your own sugars. Brown sugar, honey, maple syrup and other types of thick sugars will do well. Heat your mash water to the right temp. (about 170-180 degrees) and soak the roasted grains for abot 90 mins. drain liquid and sparge for another 20 mins. to make sure you get all the flavors from the grain. During the boil, you can add any hops you like and you can add the sugars to the boil too. I would use about 6-7 lbs. of roasted grains to get a nice beer. It takes some practice, But there is an art to using whole grains!

What beers are made without malted barley?
Malted barley is the main ingredient in pretty much all beers, even some gluten free beers use extremely low amounts of refined barley malt extract. If you want a beer specifically not made with any barley at all, I would recommend reading labels and calling breweries. You'll probably have to avoid all mass market breweries, though I believe AB-InBev does make a sorghum lager named Redbridge (no idea if it's totally barley free).
