This is awesome! I used Yuengling Black and Tan, and the flavor absolutely came through--yum! I couldn't bring myself to "waste" a Guinness LOL. I love that I could throw it together while my pot of soup simmered. I used 1 c AP flour, 1 c ww flour, and 1 c oat flour to add tooth and fiber. This is absolutely a keeper! Thanks 4 posting!

This isn't the prettiest bread, but it sure was good! I just used Bud Light. Didn't want to get into my hubby's stash of good beer until I decided if it was worth it. I'll try something even better next time and see if it is even tastier. It just has a hint of beer flavor and smell, kind of like when you fry something in a beer batter. Great texure. And you can't beat how easy this is! Even the dough tasted good before it was baked. Served with Honey Butter. Also great plain, fresh out of the oven and room temp the next day.

This bread was fantastic. Made two loafs and it disappeared.

I've been making beer-bread for years, but never added sugar to it. The sugar made a very good difference! Next time you make it, try adding herbs like thyme or a pinch of rosemary. Seeds like celery seeds or caraway are great, too! Thanks for the sugar-tip! Terry

What an easy loaf to make. I thought I'd added too much beer as it was quite a 'wet' mixture, but it was perfect. We had it with real butter-- sooooooo good! I brushed the top with a little butter about 10 minutes before taking out of the oven. That gave it a nice crust. Thank you Len, I'll be making this a lot and will try different beers too.

Awesome!!! I have been buying "Tastefully Simple" Beer Bread mix for years and this taste the exact same. I even used the recipe for "self rising flour" as I don't usually buy it. It turned out great. I added a couple of tablespoons of melted butter to the top of the wet dough before cooking and it was great!

Loved this! Excellent. Super easy. Nice crusty and dense and soft in the middle. When eating, the first taste I got was of salt on the crust, then just a hint of bitterness from the guiness. The 'dough' was more of a thick thick batter. The loaf was a nice dark, rough surface. Made it the next day with an irish cream ale and that was good too. I think I'm hooked!

This was the 1st time I made beer bread. This recipe was a breeze and the turn out was amazing. I brushed melted butter over the loaves 10 minutes before bread was done. The butter added a beautiful color to the bread as well as more flavor. I used Sam Adams boston lagar beer and it tasted wonderful. I will be making this alot!
