Saving this one! Thank you.
I don't drink beer at all, yuk. But I do like beer bread or beer pancakes. Lol.
You said if you wouldn't drink the beer on a hot summer day after mowing the lawn don't use it, but what if you don't drink beer at all. I have no problem with alcohol whatsoever. I've been quite tipsy on occasion in fact. I just don't like the taste of beer. Would you recommend this bread to me or should I try something else?
I mean no disrespect but the best cooks are hefty women. Nobody is touching them in regards to skills to cook a nice meal.
I made a close version of this tonight for dinner with friends. I didn’t have any chives so used fresh rosemary from my garden and German wheat beer instead. They couldn’t get enough of it. Thanks so much!
3 of my favorite things. Beer, cheese, and cast iron. Ok, I'll do it!
I can see this working well with a detroit pizza pan in the OONI
Looks like a great recipe I will make is

This looks great! 6:07
Bet this would make some amazing drop biscuits!
Problem is with beer bread is that it's typically very crumbly. I still enjoy it though, just not a dipping bread.
Could you make this with a hard cider instead?
Love, love, love ATC. You guys are my go-to for new recipes and techniques. But. So many of your recipes are for a 12 inch cast iron. So much so that I bought 12 inch cast iron for my young adult kids.
Why not adjust this recipe for a 12 inch? That seems to be the best all around size and certainly the most popular.
I hate to complain in front of the masses on the ‘net, but I did it anyway.
Love what you all do!
More bread needed, eh…….?
Christie has such a lovely manner when she presents.
well…im going to make this today
ATK,,, HELLO CHRISTENE, thanks for this, , which I WILL TRY, CIAO,,,,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
what could i substitute for the beer? seltzer?
always looking bread recipes that don't require a stand mixer
I had a beer biscuit with beer country gravy at a restaurant that was out of this world! But I can’t get the recipe! Care to make a beer country gravy to go with this? Also, don’t drink beer. Could you tell me exactly what to get so I don’t make a mistake? Thanks.
I make this often, but I add 1/2 tsp of Garlic powder. I recommend serving this with chilli and stews. So yummy to dip. I also use 1/2 cheddar. Low moisture cheeses work better.
Oh goodness! That looks so good! A must try for me! Thank you for sharing with us!
Young lady, very nice recipe, I',m Irish so Guiness & very little sugar in mine, swiss gruyere is my fave cheese
I've made beer bread before but never with cheese, this looks incredible!!
Looks great…. Can't wait to try. Thanks so much!😀
That recipe sounds great. When I make the bread 🍞 recipe I'm going to use firestone Walker 805 beer 🍺.
If you like this idea, they have a vid on a cast iron pizza that's so good it's in our regular dinner menu rotation. https://youtu.be/-srfPL5CWZs
