St. Patrick's Day is just a couple of days away and I have been doing a lot of cooking with beer! Honestly, I never really got in to St. Paddy’s day growing up because we were told we weren’t one bit Irish. Scottish and English, yes. But definitely not Irish. Well, along came the Ancestry DNA test and guess what? Yup. I’ve got some Irish blood after all. So, now I have a little bit of Irish pride and a lot of love for the food that comes along with it! Back to the beer bread. I added sage and black pepper to elevate it just a bit. It came beautifully. It is crispy on the outside and soft (and flavorful) on the inside. Keep in mind this is a quick bread so it is a bit denser than a yeast bread. It is fabulous toasted with a slather of salted butter!

  Honestly, use whatever beer you have on hand. Just avoid flat beer. Beer bread is best toasted and be sure to use a generous amount of butter on your hot slice of toasted bread.

  Yes you can. Just use a middle price beer. The really cheap beer will lend a cheap, bad taste, but it doesn't require a very expensive beer either.
