  This bread was super easy and a big hit with my family. I didn't have self-rising flour on hand; so, I sub'd 1 c whole wheat flour, 2 c all purpose flour 4 tsp baking powder and 3/4 tsp kosher salt. I used Sam Adam's White Christmas. My loaf came out to ~24 oz (2 oz/slice) I will make again. - 12/3/13

  Wow! I bought self-rising flour and followed the recipe exactly, including pouring the butter over the top. I shared the loaf with friends with a long history of baking, and they raved AND told others about it who later told me how good they heard it was. P.S. I agree with HOLDINGMYOWN. - 4/4/14

  For Deeebee and Holdingmyown. I too work in grams. Weigh the loaf after baking and divide by 12 to get the weight of a single slice. - 2/15/15

  I added 1/2 teaspoon of Italian Seasoning and a pinch of garlic powder to recipe for pasta night. Next time I would add just a little more garlic, but it was awesome. Incredibly easy to make and a joy to share with others. - 2/15/15

  Very dense and sweet, even though I used only half the sugar. Very disappointed that the bread does not match the picture. I was expecting something quite different than what this recipe actually makes, based on the pic. - 2/15/15

  I really Wonder why this is in Spark People?
  There is almost no fibers
  And not much Nutrition
  I guess it is the Photo that is the reason - 2/16/15

  People think you have to buy a beer bread mix to make beer bread, but it's the simplest quick bread to make. I love this recipe!! - 3/14/07

  I have made this recipe FOR YEARS. If you like the top crusty, leave out to firm up as it cools. If you like a softer top, cover with foil right away. If the top is what you like most and need it faster, portion it out into a muffin tin. - 2/15/18

  Easy and delicious. I made my own self-rising flour by adding 4 tsp baking powder. Added 1 tsp salt. Used 1/4 c sugar, still quite sweet. Subbed 1/2 c Red Fife whole wheat flour and 1/4 c. buckwheat flour for 3/4 c of white flour. Poured the melted butter over as suggested. Used dark beer. Delish! - 2/20/20

  Soooo easy and fast! Didn't have dark beer. Had beer left by some friends. Used a bottle but tasted the batter before baking. Found it a bit tart so I sprinkled sugar on top and melted the butter on top as someone suggested. Really good! Would make again. - 2/15/16

  This bread was easy to make, and was a big hit. I tried it out on Saturday, and then was asked to make it again on Sunday because the first loaf was all gone. To set expectations, the picture they used was from some other generic bread. This bread looked more like an enormous biscuit. YUM! - 2/15/16

  There's something wrong with the sodium listed. I created a recipe with the above ingredients, 12 servings - and the SODIUM = 401.2 MG. So, if you're watching your salt intake, be aware that the sodium per slice is a lot higher than the SP recipe states!!! - 2/15/21

  I added some cinnamon, cloves, and ginger to the recipe to add a bit of spice. Since the specific type of sugar wasn't specified, I used 1/4 cup of dark brown and 1/4 cup of coconut sugar. For the beer, I used a bottle of milk stout ~ it was quite flavorful although a little gummy. - 12/6/20

  Disappointed the bread was so heavy, dense and sweet. Recipe didn't mention if the beer should be room temp or cold, I made mine at room temp. I still have half a bottle of beer left I will try it again "flat" & left dough rest for 30 min before baking to see if that helps. Going to cut sugar to. - 2/18/19
