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.

This was ok. I definitely added garlic powder to the bread since other reviews noted it as being bland. It tastes like a big biscuit but with a weird texture. Sorry not my favorite.

I don't know what went wrong with this recipe. I made it to the exact directions and it wasn't quite right. I had to bake my bread for almost an hour and a half in order for it to be fully cooked, and then it was still a little gooey in the middle. If I make this again I think I might need to increase the flour a tad and decrease the butter to only 2 tablespoons.

I modified the recipe too after reading the reviews. I decreased the butter to 4 tbsps so the bread did not come out greasy at all. But it was very crumbly and dry. It only rose a little and it was very dense packed. I think maybe it needed more liquid?

We liked this bread A LOT! I read through the reviews and decided to make a few small changes. I added 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon of dried dill to the mix and increased the cheese to 1 cup. I decreased the melted butter to about 3 tablespoons and stirred in about 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder before pouring over the bread (it did not come out greasy at all). This sort of reminded me of a biscuit, but it was much more moist. It baked up beautiful and sliced great too! Once fall/winter comes, I will definately be serving this bread with a nice big hearty bowl of chili! Thanks for posting. :)

My family absolutely loves this recipe contrary to some of the other reviews. We always make it with Corona beer and it compares to Tastefully Simple's mix. All of my friends love this one too. And one bag of self rising flour will make 6 loaves of this wonderful bread. Leftover bread can also be cut into cubes to make bread crumbs- just spray with butter and sprinkle with your favorite season and bake for about 20 minutes at 350!

Could be a bit more flavorful, but baked up nicely at high altitude (p.s. I used an entire can (4 oz.) of green chilies)

This bread was so wonderful. I did make a few changes based on some other input. I used Lily brand self rising flour I increased the sugar to 1/4 cup I increased the cheddar to 1 cup I used Hoegaarden Beer I decreased the melted butter on top to 3Tbsp. I used 2 tsp Italian herbs instead of the chilies.

Great! I added about 3/4 cup of oats to give it more texture and then a splash more beer to even up the wet to dry ratio (I was using a guiness which has 14 ounces instead of 12). It's a really tasty, hearty bread, and I like that it's really a bread, and not just a cake disguised like bread, like most things in the quick-bread genre tend to be.

This is pretty good. I can cook most anything but I am terrible at baking bread. This came out very well. I used Bud Light, a mexican blend of shredded cheese and chopped some jalapenos. I think next time I will not use as much melted butter on top, but just merely brush it on. Thank you for posting.

so I used Rogue Chipotle ale for the beer, chipotle cheese, and a med size can of green chiles. i used about a cup of cheese or a little more. didn't put the butter on top, figured the cheese had enough greese and oils to do the trick. i made a spread with some whipped cream cheese a small can of diced green chiles and about 2 oz of the left over chipotle cheese. it was wonderful!!! and really hard to wait for it to finnish cooking let alone giving it ANY time to cool down! great recipie! will be making often, since i work in a beer store the combinations will be endless!

I thought this was an excellent recipe. I made it last night for my girlfriend and she loved it. I left out the cheddar and chillies as I did not have them...instead, I added about a teaspoon of Oregano, a teaspoon of Basil and sprinkled some garlic powder in the dough. TWO THUMBS UP
