Beer Bread

This recipe is one of the easiest, tastiest, and most versatile recipes I have ever used. You should already have the ingredients as pantry staples, and if you have beer you are one hour from warm, buttery beer bread.

Now you may ask, what beer is best? Well you can start with a basic lager, I liked to use a nut brown ale until one day I had a chocolate porter I decided to use in the recipe. The results where fantastic! So from there the ideas started to flow I made Irish beer bread, cheddar jalapeƱo, maple bacon. With all the styles and flavors of really good quality beer available the only limit is your imagination.

  1. The possibilities are endless! I NEED to try this recipe soon. Lots of great beer options out here in the Pacific Northwest. Rogue has a seasonal chipotle beer that would make a nice bread to go with chili...will send one when it comes out again!
