Beer & Cheese Bread for Bread Maker

Alanna Sanders-Nevills's Note:

Makes a nice high dense loaf that is great for grilled cheese, crotons or chili to name a few! Try this once and it will be one of your old stand bys for it is really easy yet impressive. You can play around with adding chives or herbs or different kinds of cheese.... have fun. I did invent this recipe myself just based on basic bread machine principles!

Very nice bread with lots of flavor. I used basil, oregano and thyme. I skipped the addition of the cheese near the end of the cycle, since my machine makes a vertical loaf. I added extra cheese to mix.
