INSTRUCTIONS

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix in optional additions, if desired. Add beer and butter and stir with a fork until just combined. You may still have some small lumps or spots of dry flour and that’s ok!

Place bread in loaf pan. Using a serrated knife, make a slit down the middle on top of the loaf. Brush top of bread with melted butter and place in 375-degree preheated oven for 35-45 minutes until lightly golden and crusty on top.

Let cool in pan for a few minutes then cool completely on wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy!

September 7 is National Beer Lover’s Day

 

Kick it into high gear!  It’s time to celebrate beer!

Here are today’s five thing to know about Beer:

  1. Germany serves beer ice cream in popsicle form. Its alcoholic content is less than that found in “classic” beer.
  2. In 1962, Iron City beer was the brand used to test-market the concept of tab opening aluminum cans. By 1970, over 90% of all beer cans were self-opening.
  3. Prohibition, beginning on January 16, 1920, lasted 13 years, 10 months, 19 days, 17 hours, and 32-1/2 minutes, and was rescinded on December 5, 1933, at 3:32 p.m.
  4. Centuries ago in England, pub visitors used a novel innovation that enabled them to get their beer served quickly. They used mugs with a whistle baked into the rim, the whistle being used to summon the barmaid. It has been suggested this practice gave birth to the phrase “wet your whistle.”
  5. A beer lover or enthusiast is called a cerevisaphile.
