An easy bread loaded with flavor!
This Cheesy Beer Bread just cries out for a bowl of chili or a steaming hot bowl of soup on a cold winter day. Easy doesn’t begin to describe this recipe, mix all the ingredients, pour in a pan & bake, that’s it, nothing complicated.
The texture is more of a biscuity (if that’s a word) quick bread, its dense and thick, not light & airy. You can make this bread with any variety of beer or cheese. The darker the beer, the more flavor and color your bread will have. If you choose a lighter flavor beer, there will be less beer flavor and a lighter color. A beer such as Sierra Nevada Pale Ale would be delicious, but I usually just grab whatever is sitting in our fridge and use that. An extra sharp cheddar cheese would be amazing in this bread too, I normally just use sharp cheddar and it gives it just the right amount of flavor. Do some experimenting, you’ll find the right blend.

Visiting from All My Bloggy Friends. Great bread!
I love beer bread, and now I can have it with cheese in it, yum! I just have to say, don’t use St. Paulie Girl beer in it. It’s too strong of a flavor beer and it overpowers the bread. I learned that the hard way.
