While AB has winner recipes, this one is just not for me, I used Shiner Hefeweizen Ale. Onwards to try more AB recipes.

This was excellent!!! My hubby likes Beer Bread. This was easy to make and turned out really moist and tasty!! The cheddar really gives it a nice taste and the dill kept him guessing what else was in it!

This was quick and easy, but there are two things one should be aware of before one makes it. 1 1/2 t. of salt was too much for my taste, and I would suggest adding the beer slowly instead of pouring the whole bottle in. I poured the whole bottle in and the mixture did not look like Alton's video - it was soup! I ended up adding more flour to get it closer to the consistency seen on the video.

Wished it would have been a little lighter. But darn good. It was my first try at homemade bread

I only made homemade bread once, because I never consider it worth the effort, but this was so easy and absolutely delicious! I used a malty brown ale and substituted brown sugar for white, and used all AP flour. A very flexible recipe

I watch Alton religiously but tend to avoid making his recipes, as I'm generally put off by the rare ingredients he calls for as well as the fact that the majority of his measurements are by weight, not volume (I haven't invested in a kitchen scale. However, I threw caution to the wind on this one after watching Fermentation Nation because it looked so darned easy. I used 1 1/2 cups of AP flour (I didn't have whole wheat in the house, used sliced Monterrey Jack instead of shredded Cheddar because that's the only thing I had, and used dried chives because, since I don't like dill, I never have any in the house. The ONLY thing I wish I'd have done differently is diced the cheese finer so it would have cooked more evenly. The beer flavor was amazingly tasty (I used a Miller Lite - LOL!, and I can't wait to make it again. SO easy, and versatile. Definitely a keeper.

Easy to make, easy to eat. I used basil because we didn't have dill, sliced almonds because we didn't have sunflower seeds, and Corona because it's what we had. Loved the cheesy flavor, loved getting to toss it together for a sidedish. My only problem was that it didn't rise very well and 2 slices later I was stuffed!

This bread was amazing! For those of you that think it's too salty, here's a suggestion, USE LESS SALT! It's rocket science isn't is?!

Alright now that has been said, I really loved the recipe. I added some extra cheese to the recipe and also some home made bacon. Obviously if you add bacon then reduce the amount of salt to about 1/2 teaspoon. Also when adding other beers and cheese consider their taste pairing. IPA's stand up great to sharp cheddar cheese, while a porter may not. I've found that using a strong wheat ale like Blue Moon, it makes the bread flat line on flavor. I'm not an IPA fan so I substituted a Fat Tire Ale. I also prefer mine with extra dill (I used dried over fresh. Over all a great new bread for my friends and family. Thanks Alton!!!

Also the sunflower seeds on top is a must! My cooking time turned out to be an hour. Use a thermometer and check to make sure it is at 210 or pretty close to it.

After using this recipe once or twice without alterations, I tried it the other day with the following:
Beer .................. Maharaja Imperial IPA
Cheese .............. Habanero Jack
Dill substitution ... Fresh Lime Zest

This turned out wonderfully, with a well-rounded spiciness that my family and I all enjoyed thoroughly. Thanks for the wonderful recipe, Alton!
