My husband and I brew our own beer which I used instead of any store bought beer and it turned out great. The beer I used had almost a new england brown taste and the nutty flavor really came through. I might try a honey flavored beer or mead next time and cut the honey down or out completely. Definitely worth trying different beers with.

I ran my oats through the food processor before I used it for a finer consistancy. I used Pabst beer. I've learned that using a cheaper beer is really best for our family--we just like the flavor better. Besides, all I had was Pabst. Mine took fourty-five minutes to bake, I tented a piece of foil over the top so it wouldn't scorch on the top. This was good but mine turned out a little dry. I can't say that it was overbaking as I've made beer bread before. I think cutting back the flour or oats by a quarter cup or so and it would be just right. Everything else seemed spot on. GREAT with homemade chili.

I can't believe how much I liked this, especially considering how much I hate beer! My only problem with it would have to be that it didn't slice very well. Maybe I left it too long in the oven?

30 minutes wasn't long enough, the color wasn't pleasing- but warm with a side dish of chili - marvelous- will cook at least 10 minutes longer next time and add more honey!!!

Meh...not great but not terrible. Not as good as other beer bread I've made. This had a funny aftertaste, and I don't think it was due to the beer b/c I've made other beer bread with the same type and no weird aftertaste. I think I'll just stick to the traditional beer bread.

I thought this bread was great! Quick, easy and tasty. I followed the recipe as written and used a Smirnoff Ice "beer" (passion fruit flavor) that someone left at my house after a party. I think this added a nice flavor and a hint of sweetness.

Like others have said, increase the brown sugar to at least 1 if not 2 tablespoons and the honey to 2 tablespoons as well... IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't use a "good" beer! Sam Adams was the worst bread I've ever had while Big Flats, Pabst, Bud Light etc were good. The nicer bottled beers (go for a CAN) actually don't taste as good, they overwhelm the bread. You really want just the carbonation and earthy beer flavor. Sounds counter intuitive but I've been making beer bread for a long time. Overall this is a great basic recipe for beer bread to play with.
