Nice Bread! Cheese and onions go together well in this bread. I made it in a round pan since DH likes thin bread and halved the recipe. (DH drank the remaining beer! LOL) Prepared as a participant in the April 2008 Photo Forum Flour Challenge.

This is very good and easy to make. It was great on a cold afternoon at home. I followed the ingredients exactly. Made for 1,2,3, Wonders Tag 2008.

This is a wonderful recipe for beer bread! Flavorful and lovely texture. The garlic was sitting on the counter top, ready to be put into the mix, but someone forgot to add it to the batter *blush* . However, the recipe worked perfectly well without the garlic! Thanks for another wonderful recipe, Lazyme!
