Gluten Free Beer Bread

I found this recipe on BellaOnline. I altered it slightly, partially due to what I had in the house and partially due to misreading the recipe (oops!). Anyway, what I ended up with was delicious! It is chewy and has a great crumb. This will be my go-to bread when I decide to bake. I hope you enjoy it! Original recipe: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art58227.asp
