- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese divided, I used Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar cheese

- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted and divided
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ Tbsp minced fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray a 9”x5” loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray; set pan aside.
- Using a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; stir until well combined.
- Add 1¼ cups of cheddar cheese; stir until well combined.
- Add beer; stir until well combined.
- Transfer batter into prepared loaf pan.
- Brush half of the melted butter (2 Tbsp) and sprinkle remaining cheese (¼ cup) evenly on top of the batter.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until top of bread is golden brown.
- Using a small bowl, whisk together the remaining melted butter (2 Tbsp), garlic powder and parsley.
- While bread is still hot from oven, brush the butter mixture evenly on top.
- Let bread cool for 10 minutes in pan before transferring to a wire rack until completely cool.
Notes
For beer bread, I recommend using a lighter beer like ales or pilsner. Hoppy beers (like IPAs) are not recommended as they tend to overshadow the flavors in the bread.
