Homemade Buttery Beer Bread. The ultimate quick bread.

Let me start this post off by telling you how hungry I am right now after looking at these Buttery Beer Bread photos again.  Now I’ll go ahead and admit that I’m always hungry lately.  I know it has to do with this growing baby inside of me, but I really am tired of being so hungry all of the time.  Then, there is the heart burn I get in the evenings, that I sometimes confuse for hunger pain (or is it hunger “pang”)?  I just don’t know, I’m so confused lately! 😉

What I’m definitely not confused about is the ease and deliciousness of this Buttery Beer Bread.  Plus, it has come to the rescue and satisfied my hunger, although probably enhancing the heart burn.  Oops.  Some things are worth the burn, though, baby!

Be ready for a shocker.  This Beer Bread is thrown together within just a few minutes, then fresh out of the oven in an hour.  Eat it warm and you won’t be sorry.  But, eat it more than a few times a year and your arteries will be sorry.  Indulge sparingly, friends, but please make sure you do indulge.

Homemade Buttery Beer Bread. The ultimate quick bread.

Course: Bread
Keyword: Buttery Beer Bread
Servings: 1 loaf
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 bottle (12 ounces) beer (dark preferred, but light works as well)
  • 1 stick unsalted butter , melted
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan. (My preferred spray is Baker's Joy.)
  2. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Pour the beer into bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  3. Pour half the melted butter into the bottom of the loaf pan. Add the batter to the pan, then pour the other half of the butter on top.
  4. Bake on the center rack in the oven for 50 to 60 minutes, until the top is crispy golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve immediately or reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds.

  4. Oh goodness! How easy does this look? I’m excited to try this on my own, since I’ve only ever made it from one of those boxes that you get at those different parties. Thanks for sharing!

  14. Thank you for this post, Nikki! I made beer bread (and LOVED it) when I received a prepared mix from a friend years ago. Just the other day, I was thinking there had to be a way to make it from scratch…and here it is! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This one is going in the permanent recipe file! Can’t wait to make it this weekend!

  17. We had this with dinner tonight. It was so easy to make that my 21 month old was able to help me put it together. My husband and I thought it was super delicious, but my 3 kids thought it was only ok. I think the beer taste was a bit strong for them.

    • Megan, You can actually make this bread with a substitute for the beer. We don’t have any in the house, either. I looked online and found that you can use ginger ale or even Coke. I’m trying it tonight with a can of Coke, which is what I had on hand. Will let you know how it works. 🙂

  23. OMG! I never realized how easy this was to make from scratch. I just made some and wow…. SO good! Only problem was it kind of overflowed in my pan, luckily I had a cookie sheet under it because I think I lost all the butter on top. Haha. Would probably split it up into two pans next time. Super good though thanks for sharing. I have been ranting on facebook about it with a link as well!

  24. I pinned this a while back, and made it for the first time tonight. Oh. Em. Gee. Best beer bread ever! Locally, we have an Irish pub that makes the best beer bread, and I’ve tried a couple different recipes to replicate it at home, coming close, but not quite to the result I wanted. This recipe BEATS IT hands-down. So delicious! The top and bottom crusts are crunchy and buttery, while the interior is soft and tender, yet chewy. Perfect beer bread. Good thing we don’t keep beer on hand…I’d be tempted to make this every night!
