Quick Breads are one of my favorite things to bake due to the fact they are quick and easy! There is no kneading, proofing yeast, or rising period – simply mix (all in one bowl!), and bake.

This bread can be served with just about any meal! Personally, I tend to serve this bread with a hearty stew or soup option, but of course, with my family loving their bread item at dinner, I add it to grilled/baked dishes, casseroles, and more!
What is Beer Bread?
Beer bread is any bread that includes beer in the dough mixture. Depending on the type of beer used, it may or may not contribute leavening to the baking process. Thus, beer breads range from heavy, unleavened, loaves to light breads and roll. Beer Bread is typically buttery, chewy, and tastes like your favorite beer. The yeast in the beer interacts with the sugar to help the bread to rise (and the baking powder gives the bread an additional boost to keep it from becoming dense).
What Beer Is Best for Beer Bread?
The great thing about this bread is you can use any beer. If you have beer on hand, you’re set without needing to run to the store for a specific kind.
Remember, the beer flavor comes through in this bread, so be sure to use one you actually like as you will subtly taste it. Dark style lagers have notes of caramel and roasted malts, which will give you a strong and smooth flavor. Whereas Miller Lite or Bud Light will deliver the mildest beer flavor. You can even have fun using seasonal brews like pumpkin ale and hard cider.
Don’t worry if you’re not a beer fan, you will still enjoy this despite the flavor of the beer! It might be a different flavor than what you’re used to but the bread itself is moist, with a hint of sweetness, and the texture of the bread is incredible.
This bread is best enjoyed the same day it’s baked – fresh from the oven with a slab of butter! However, if you have leftovers, here is how to store:
Store this bread at room temperature for about 2-3 days. Make sure you keep it in an airtight container to keep it moist. I don’t recommend putting the bread in the refrigerator as this seems to speed up the process of making it stale and dry.
To freeze: double wrap it in saran wrap and aluminum foil. You can freeze it for up to 6 months. Let it come to room temp in your fridge before slicing it. Reheat each slice in the microwave for 20 seconds.
Serving Suggestions
My favorite way to enjoy this bread is to slice (with a serrated knife) and slab some butter on top when the bread is warm! Here are some other great options to try too:
Butter and/or Honey
Jam
Serve with a bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup
On the side with some Chili or Beef Stew
