Cheesy Beer Bread

As promised, Cheesy Beer Bread!

Cheesy Beer Bread

3 c. all-purpose flour
3 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
about 4 oz. shredded cheese (I used gruyere because that's what I had)
1 12 oz. bottle lager-style beer (I used a New Glarus Spotted Cow that was languishing in the fridge)
2 tbsp butter, divided, melted

Preheat the oven to 375 F
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, add the cheese and the beer. Stir just until combined.

Place the batter in a 9x5 in. loaf pan and drizzle 1 tbsp. melted butter over the top.  Bake at 375 F for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven, drizzle the remaining 1 tbsp butter over the loaf, and return to the oven for another 25 min. Remove from the pan and allow to cool on a cooling rack for a few minutes. Enjoy with your tomato soup!
