I think this recipe is awesome. I tweaked the recipe because of not having some of the spices on hand. I wraped a loaf with plastic wrap and it stayed as fresh 5 days later as the day I baked it. It might sound odd but it's great toasted and topped with your favorite jam or preserves. As for the person who would not follow the recipe and then gave the bread a 3 star rating, SHAME ON YOU. You only showed your ignorance by complaining.

I ended up making two batches, because it was so good that we gave up testing the first loaf and just ate it. Really easy, very flavorful.

It was very tender. I didn't use cheese because my husband doesn't like cheese. A friend had made this without the cheese because she missed the signal on her bread machine and she said it was good without the cheese. I added extra garlic and used regular budweiser beer. It didn't really have any flavor, except spiciness from the ground red pepper and black pepper. Probably won't make again.

The first time I made this, I halved the recipe and added the ingredients to my machine. I missed the add in beep and ended up with just beer bread, which was crispy and savory. The second time, I made it correctly but we decided we like it better without the cheese because the flavor of the beer is stronger.

This not only smells great, but tastes great also. I used Yeungling Lager, substituted italian seasoning for the marjoram and basil like another reader suggested, left out the cayenne but sprinkled in red pepper flakes, and used 1 tsp. of garlic powder in place of the onion and garlic powder just because that was all I had on hand. Usually a bread smells really good but doesn't have much flavor. Not this! Great with soup.

A bit too heavy on the pepper for our preference. I'll try it again cutting back on both peppers. Really liked the texture.

Delicious. Since I acquired a bread machine (instruction-less gift), I've become a lazy bread maker. I dumped all the ingredients (including an ale instead of a lager and Dublin white cheddar cubes) in the bread machine and let it go. It came out all sorts of awesome. (I adjusted everything to make a 1.5lb loaf instead of 2 1-lb loaves, but I think the machine could handle the 2 lbs fine. (The bread was a bit dense, but in a yummy way rather than a gross way. It was still light and fluffy enough to be tasty.)
