The batch I made was really yummy, but the bottom was a bit singed. I will try 50 minutes next time. The kids ate nearly the whole loaf, but I made them save a piece for Daddy. The honey wheat beer gave it a nice wheat flavor and light brown color.

I'm seriously gonna try this, possibly tomorrow (no beer at home now). I hope the wife doesn't get upset if it turns out better than what she makes in her $$$ bread-kneading machine.

Quoted: I insert a dollar into a register and almost immediately I am presented with delicious processed bread product. It's almost like magic. Or, for about the same money, in an hour you could have a hot, fresh loaf of actual delicious home-made bread. But, I guess if you're the kind of guy who prefers his chili from a can and his spaghetti in little "O"s, that magic dollar "bread" is good enough. |

Thanks for the link, BB. Made some, just cooled off and I tried the first piece. Very good, maybe a little too crunchy like cataclysm said. A little less time would be perfect.
I used even less than 1/4 cup - maybe 1/8 - and it came out fine. One thing I would recommend is to use a GOOD beer. Coors Light will probably not be the best. I used J.W. Dundee Honey Brown Lager, which is my favorite beer. It has a very distinct malt flavor, and the bread turned out great! |

OK, I just tried this. I used Sam Adams Blackberry Witbier.
I used 1/4 cup of the butter in the batter and sprinkled the rest on the top of the bread before putting it in. Baked for 50 minutes. Bubbled over the edge of the loaf pan but luckily I'd put a foil-coated pizza pan underneath it. 
The texture was excellent, a light, fluffy bread with a crust that was not hard. I used self-rising flour but put in one spoon of baking powder anyway. The taste was a little too "beerish" although that could probably be cured with a little more sugar. That might also bring out a little more of the blackberry flavor. It was noticeable in the bread but a little tart. Excellent, simple recipe.

I've been wanting to try this for some time. It was posted on one of the survival forums a while back but forgot all about it. I went with the self rising flour recipe and made one with Guinness and one with Shiner Bock. The butter seemed like too much even at 1/4c so I split 1/3 cup of butter between the two and I have to say it was more than enough if not too much. The end piece I tried off each loaf had a very present salty butter flavor to them. Next time I am just going to lightly brush the top.
They were dense as you would expect from not allowing them to raise and the outside was a bit chewy with a slight crunch. Both tasted excellent but the Guinness was the hands down winner. The flavor came out really well. I wanted to add some dessert spices to them but I thought a baseline without would be best for a first attempt. I can't wait to try a good wheat beer. For once I might actually bring something to my parent's house for Xmas. |

I made a loaf last night with Beetle's recipe and baked it for 50 minutes at 375.
Turned out great. The Samuel Adams Winter Lager was excellent for bread making.

Oh. My. GOD!!!
This recipe is absolutely AMAZING!!! The center is super moist and delicious, the outside got a wonderful crispy crust..absolutely unbelievable delicious! Made it last night, and OP is right, couldn't be any easier! Be SURE to sift the flour! I used a 12oz Mickey's Grenade for the beer. I used just under 1/2 cup of butter over the top. And, I made one small change/addition. There's a local bakery here that sells this amazing cheese garlic loaf that we absolutely LOVE. So, to my beer bread I added a large handful of shredded cheddar cheese, and I added about a Tbsp of jarred minced garlic (I always use fresh, but I keep this stuff on hand because it works for a few things better than fresh, this being one of them). When you've got the loaf mixed in the bowl, separate about 1/2 of it, just roughly, with your mixing spoon and add the cheese and garlic. Fold it gently to keep most of it "intact" as you put the dough back together...you want some "streams" of garlic/cheese in there when it finishes. Then put it in your greased loaf pan, get it as even as you can, pour the butter over it, and bake. Cooked it to the directions, and I swear it's some of the best bread I've ever eaten. The cheese gave it an extra little crispy goodness in the crust, the flavor of the beer comes through wonderfully, and along with the bits of cheese and garlic it's pure heaven! THANKS OP for this awesome recipe! It goes into my personal recipe list...it's that damned good!!!!! |

In retrospect, I assume the beer is used to provide CO2 to that does the job of yeast. If that's the case, it would be a good idea not to over-mix the dough.

I mixed mine "gently", just enough to bring it together and no more. I used a silicone spoon to do the mixing, gently folding it all until it it came together and stopped. |

I'm house-sitting for some friends tonight and their heater is broken. I needed a way to warm the place up because their space-heater is only good if you sit right in front of it. What better way than turning on the oven? I didn't want the electricity to go to waste so now I have a loaf that just went in.
 I'll be back in a little over an hour after I "test" it. I used a Michelob Amber Bock that I had sitting in my fridge and it already smells delicious in here.

Just pulled it out of the oven. Apparently I didn't grease the bottom of the pan well enough because the bottom 1/2" to 3/4" is stuck to the pan. The rest is cooling on the rack and I picked some of the bread stuck to the pan and tried it.
I will be making this again.

I love beer batter bread. I haven't tried it with white sugar (I use brown), but I've experimented with a bunch of different beers. So far my favorite is Guinness, though Bass makes surprisingly good bread for such a crappy beer. I posted a snack pic a while back. For those who have access to the archives: Late night snack pic.

Born at 6:05PM today from Michelob Amber Bock (in OK we can't buy non 3% beer on Sunday, which severely restricts my dark beer options):
  Probably the easiest thing I've ever baked. For those not familiar with dough, the less you knead typically gives you much more "crumbly" bread like mine. I used a small paddle to fold the flour + beer mixture together enough so I didn't find any dry flour packets and that was it. And yeah the 1/2 cup of melted butter is probably more than necessary, but gives a good taste. Next time I'm going to use Guinness and 1/4 cup of butter. |
