Light Wheat Beer Bread

Brooke the Cook in WI's Note:

Easy beer bread is reduced fat and sugar and adds whole wheat flour. Using a light beer reduces the calorie count even more! Tastes so good, you would never know its light!

really delish!! my only personal tweeks were to add ground flax into the mix and sub Earth Balance for butter while dusting the top with my bread topping crumbles of ground oats,flax and sea salt...the bread was sweet, soft, yet crusty. Truly the perfect bread for anything...truly a great recipe!!! -THANKS!!! (made for "I Recommend Tag" and I recommend you make this right now!!!)

This turned out wonderfully. Unfortunately, an hour was too long in my oven, and I didn't check on it until the timer went off so the crust is a bit burnt, but the inside is just delicious!
