This recipe is awesome! It's almost much faster and easier than my usual beer bread recipe, and eliminates the hassles of yeast and the bread maker. The beer definately matters. I made 3 loaves. One with Coors Lite, one with Guinness, and one with MGD. MGD was the best. The loaf had a strong yeasty flavor and beer smell with no bitter after taste. The one with Coors Lite was very bland and biscuit-like. The cheese was the dominant flavor rather than the beer. The Guinness loaf came out kind of packy in texture and had a VERY bitter after taste. The chillies add color, but I didn't taste them at all in any of the 3 loaves. I may try adding some sorrano or jalapenos next time for more heat. Also need to reduce the butter topping to about 5 TBSP for my 90% humidity conditions. Quite a bit was left in the bottom of the pan of all 3 loaves after browning, which made the bottoms kind of greasy.
