This recipe is for smoked pork and bacon, but it also works for Canadian bacon because it requires a lot of smoke.

Reviews
I replaced some wheat flour with hemp flour and added egg and caraway seeds. Used stout but did not have quite enough, so topped up with a little almond milk. Only used 3tsp baking powder and 1 tsp salt. Great taste and texture. Created a big rise.
I made two loaves for a potluck luncheon. It was embarrassing. I don’t knew what I did wrong, but its texture was very rubbery with a bland flavor. I brought most of it home. After letting it set for two days, the texture and flavor changed completely! It soften and had a lovely, smooth Coors flavor. We liked it!! Hence the middle of the rating. Next time, I will make it two days ahead! ♀️
We liked this bread, except for the dominant baking soda taste. Will try again reducing the baking soda with perhaps baking powder.
It’s a really flexible recipe! I had some leftover ingredients from a previous bread recipe so I tossed everything in, and yet did not have to change this recipe’s ingredients or procedure to compensate at all. I added bulgar wheat, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, & caraway & it still didn’t turn out too dry or anything.
Excellent recipe. Followed it and used Pilsner beer since recipe didn’t specify what type of beer. Bread came out very fragrant. Recipe should specify flat beer as I blended in the foam as well. But still came out very tasty. Friend gave a piece thumbs up.
I’ve made this twice this month – it’s that good and easy ! I use only 3 tsp baking powder ( as others suggested) and 1/4 c brown sugar. Before baking I tip with slices of butter and sprinkle with kosher salt. It’s such a nice ‘cheater’ homemade bread, smells like a yeast bread while baking and SO quick to put together!
This is a great bread and really fast and easy to make. Great flavor!
This is my first beer bread. It was super easy and tasty.
This was so good tasting and easy to make. I used Beck’s non-alcohol beer and followed recipe exactly. It is dense with a chewy crust . So good!!
awesome recipe, thank you! used Longboard Lager, put melted butter in bottom and top before baking. baked on middle rack for 1 hour. perfection! crusty top, no bitterness. just comfy food!
This was so easy and delicious! I followed the recipe exactly except I also added some melted butter on top before baking. Next time I will try without the butter and see the difference. I followed the recommendation to use my kitchenaid mixer and it worked perfectly.
Perfect bread recipe for anyone who’s intimidated by baking their own bread. I used pumpkin ale.
I made this and the result is awesome.
Used 3 cups of AP flour since that was in the house, and only 3 tsp of baking powder. Baked for 1 hour in an 8-inch cast iron pan, and it turned out great!
Very easy and delicious.. definately going to be making this again and have already recommended it to several people
Added 1/3 cup of unsalted sunflower seeds. Great east recipe!
I was looking for a beer bread recipe since I couldn’t find yeast in any stores. It seems everyone is baking these days to stay busy during the pandemic. We are self isolating so I am baking bread to give to neighbors and to keep and freeze. A very good recipe. I followed the recipe except I substituted some of the white flour for almond flour and uncooked old fashion oatmeal. Modelo beer. I used a pizza stone for baking instead of a loaf pan. It baked for 55 min at 350. Lots of nutty texture on the crust and the crumb is soft and chewy. I will make again in a few days. This bread won’t last long in this house.
Good texture and great flavor! I will definitely make this again!
I made this because I ran out of yeast and we’re limiting our grocery store trips right now. I used 3 teaspoons of baking powder as another reviewer recommended in order to avoid bitterness of too much baking powder. As a result, it may not have risen as much as it otherwise would have, but I’m not sure. It tastes really good though. I’ve had several slices just plain, no butter, no anything. It is sweet enough, and moist on its own.
Made this with a bottle of milk stout that we did not care for and a less sugar(1/4c) It was quite good, quick and easy! But I really like the kneading part in regular bread recipes.
I just pour a little honey,melted butter,and salt on top. My husband loved it.
