Really, it has to be one of the easiest recipes I've ever made. I honestly can't remember where I got it from because I have it memorized and don't need to even look it up when I make it. There are definitely some good beer bread recipes out there with a lot more ingredients, but this is a quick and easy one that is perfect for a family on the go!
INGREDIENTS:
* 3 cups self-rising flour
* 3 Tbsp sugar
* 1 bottle/can any flavor beer
We have experimented with all different kinds of beer and every type will give you a slightly different flavor. We used Honey Brown for this particular recipe. Woodchuck cider is also one of our favorites. I have heard of people also using sprite or root beer in their beer bread as a substitute...I have never tried that with this recipe and am not sure if it would work because I'm pretty sure the yeast in the beer helps it rise since you aren't adding yeast. But if anyone out there tries it please let me know how it turns out!
DIRECTIONS:
Mix all ingredients until dough forms. Add dough to a medium loaf pan. Bake for 40-50 min at 350 degrees until golden brown and baked through.

I've always wondered about beer bread. Thanks for the recipe and review, I may have to try this sometime. How do you eat your beer bread? Just as a snack or what? I guess that has always been a mystery to me, too. Wasn't sure what it tasted like, so wasnt' sure how you're supposed to eat it. If that makes sense...
It's a pretty hearty, crusty bread so it is the best with hearty meals like stew or chili for example... I like to dip it :). We had it tonight with deer steaks. You can definitely eat it as a snack too. It's delicious with butter and jam!
