serves: 16
  A quick, easy, and inexpensive quick-bread with rich beer flavor. Remember, the better the beer you use, the better the bread will taste. You can also substitute whole wheat pastry flour or half and half all-purpose and regular whole wheat flour in this recipe.
Ingredients:
  3 c.   flour
  2 tsp.   baking powder
  1/2 tsp.   salt
  2 T.   sugar
  1/2 c.   butter, melted (1 stick = 1/2 c.)
  12 oz.   beer
Directions:
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Pour a small amount of melted butter in bottom of a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan, rock the pan back and forth to coat bottom of pan with melted butter.

Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Pour in beer and stir just until combined (do not over-mix). Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan.

Pour remaining melted butter over top of batter in loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes, until bread is golden brown and a knife inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before removing from pan. Cool slightly and slice with a serrated knife. Serve immediately!!!
