UPDATED NOTES: Sifting flour for bread recipes is a must-do. Most people just scoop the 1 cup measure in the flour canister and level it off. That compacts the flour and will turn your bread into a "hard biscuit" as some have described. That's because they aren't sifting their flour! If you do not have a sifter, use a spoon to spoon the flour into the 1 cup measure. Try it once the "correct" way and you will see an amazing difference in the end product.7
I have had many email from you kind folks about using non-alcoholic beverages instead of beer. That is fine to do but I highly recommend adding a packet of Dry Active Yeast or 2 teaspoons of Bread (Machine) Yeast so that you get a proper rise.8
The final result should be a thick, hearty and very tasteful bread, NOT A BRICK! ;).9
Thank you all for the incredibly nice comments and those of you who left a bad review - learn to sift sift SIFT! You will be amazed at the results you get.

I've used this recipe quite a few times now.... It is probably one of my favorite beer bread recipes. I've made it with both 1/2 cup butter and 1/4 cup butter... both ways are excellent IMO. Killians Irish Red is my beer of choice to use when making this recipe. The one thing I'd suggest when making this bread is to mix the ingredients with your hands. The batter is a bit sticky, but mixing it by hand ensures that all the ingredients while be mixed completely.

Excellent. It is very important to thoroughly mix the dry ingredients prior to adding the beer. It becomes a glob once the beer is added and somewhat difficult to mix. I would decrease the amount of butter to 1/4 cup next time. Also, if you do not decrease the butter, you should put a baking pan under the loaf pan to catch the overflowing butter.

This bread really astounded me! I don't like to make any yeast breads because I'm just too darned impatient to let it rise and all that. I'll tell you, this bread was so ridiculously easy to make! Literally took like 3 minutes to whip up. The beer interacts with the baking powder and ends up creating a texture very similar to yeast breads. I loved the idea of pouring the 1/2 cup butter over the raw dough before baking as this really helped keep the crust from being rock hard. I love the almost sweetness in this bread! Was the absolute perfect companion to the "Meat Lovers Cheating Lasagna" I made for dinner. The almost sweetness went perfectly to counteract the savory flavor of the lasagna. My family gave this bread a rating of 10 stars. Wonderful! Thanks for posting this Gerald!
