I tried making beer bread for the first time last night and loved it warm, with Irish butter! I'm sure beer flavors make a difference. I used Ric's stout that had coffee and caramel in it, so this bread is sweet and dense like a molasses bread. Photo taken with my new phone.. not bad, not great, although I didn't tweak the settings, so maybe it could be better with a little practice.

Recipe

3 cups of self-rising flour
2/3 cup of sugar
One 12 oz. beer
Melted butter for glazing

Using a mixer, combine the flour, sugar, and beer. Pour the mixture into a greased and floured loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, then remove from oven.

Use a knife along the edges of the pan to separate the bread from the pan, then pour melted butter over the top and let it drip down the sides. Return pan to the oven for 15 more minutes.
