Colby-Jack Beer Bread
I was inspired to make beer bread when I accidentally knocked the cap off of a beer bottle early in the day. I put plastic wrap over it and decided it would not go to waste, I could make beer bread. I think I’ve made beer bread before but it’s been so long that I don’t remember. I will be making this more often, we all loved it! I had it for a mid-morning snack with a little butter. This recipe was so simple but the flavors of the beer and the cheese are really there. I think you could easily make these into muffins or drop biscuits. Use your choice of cheese, cheddar would be awesome and use whatever beer you have handy, I used Moose Head, it’s my favorite. I can’t wait until supper, I am going to use it for grilled cheese sandwiches maybe along side some tomato soup, now doesn’t that sound good?

*I often forget to buy self-rising flour. You can use 3 cups of all purpose flour plus 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 3/8 teaspoon salt.

This looks wonderful! I love beer breads and yours looks moist and cheesy. A good thing, in this case
There’s nothing quite like beer bread. Good idea about using the batter to make drop biscuits. I’ll have to try it.
Wow, nice recipe for an easy and interesting quick bread. Will make this soon.
I accidently bought self rising bread thinking it would help when making pop-over’s (wrong) and I will try this recipe!! Thank you!
I have never had beer bread- GASP! Your recipe looks incredible and moist…I can’t wait to try it!
Ok I made this bread it is out of this world good, so easy. Had company one afternoon and I couldn’t wait for them to try it. We all set down at 5 in the afternoon to have your bread warmed and buttered, everybody raved over it. Thank you for new staple in our house.
I made this on Sunday to have with chili for the Superbowl. I can’t even tell you how delicious this was. It was so easy to make. I will definitely be making this over and over again. Thank you!
I made this yesterday and it was so easy and so delicious. I had to wrap it up and remove myself from its sight or I would have eaten it all in one setting. I will definitely keep this recipe with my favorites!
I am so glad it turned out for you. I don’t think I’ve ever made bread that was any easier!
Hey Melisa,
This looks fantastic! Do you know, however, if I’d be able to use all-purpose flour with any other adjustments, if I don’t have self-rising flour? I’ll admit I’m not a baker and I usually use a bread machine to make any bread, so I’m not “up” on what kinds of substitutions can be made — any suggestions would be appreciated!
If none can, I’ll just have to wait till I’m out grocery shopping next to pick up self-rising flour. (I was just kind of hoping to make some tomorrow without having to go out! Hahaha.)
Cheers & thanks for the great recipe!
Cheers,
Kelly
This bread is amazing. Flat-out amazing. I’ve passed the recipe on to several friends plus my mother, and I can’t stress how simple it is. So tasty dipped in soup, or even slathered with local honey. Thank you so much for sharing!
