Cheddar Beer Bread

Submitted by JenBlacker

"I love beer. I love cheese. This combines both of my loves into a tasty quick bread. Use the type of beer you enjoy drinking. I have found heavier beers such as the lovely flavors that come out during Oktoberfest time make the best cheddar beer breads. I use extra sharp cheddar, but if you don't like it you can substitute normal cheddar for this recipe."

I used a Sam Adams Lager and some nice sharp Tillamook cheese, and everything worked as it should. One of us not accustomed to beer felt the beer flavor was too strong; that's going to be a matter of taste and preference. Baking time and ingredient amounts seemed to be right on the button. This bread has a very substantial, rustic, cheesy feel, almost creamy mouth texture, and robust flavor. Made for PAC.

This is a great recipe for beer cheese bread. I’ve done a couple of additions to kick up the spice a little, so I add six chopped jalapeños for flavor and two chopped reapers for heat. It makes the bread take a bit longer to bake, but worth it if you like spice.

This is one of my new favorite bread recipes. I like that it is so easy to make! I used the Taco Bell 7 layer cheese and Yuengling for the beer. It tasted like a beer cheese deep, but in bread form. I'm getting ready to make another loaf now.

Seemed a little gooey after baking full time. Good flavor though, used regular Budweiser.
