Can you use any kind of beer to make beer bread?

Yes, you can use almost any kind of beer to make beer bread! However, the type of beer you use will affect the flavour, colour and texture of the bread.

Does beer bread taste like beer?

Beer bread does have a subtle flavour of beer but the taste will vary depending on the type of beer used. Beers that are darker and have a stronger flavour, such as stouts will give the bread a more pronounced beer flavour, while lighter beers will result in a more subtle taste. However, the flavour of beer bread is not overwhelming, people who don't typically enjoy beer find that they like the taste.

Can you make beer bread with non-alcoholic beer?

Yes, you can make beer bread with non-alcoholic beer. Non-alcoholic beer can still add flavour and moisture to the bread, making it a great alternative for those who prefer not to use alcoholic beer in their recipes. Keep in mind that the bread may have a slightly different flavour and texture compared to using alcoholic beer. Non-alcoholic beer is typically less bitter and less carbonated than regular beer, so the bread may be less tangy and have a softer texture.

This no yeast, super simple beer bread will no doubt become your favourite bread to go along side your winter meals! It’s full of flavour, crisp on the outside and chewy and soft on the inside. I used Guinness beer which gave a dark rich molasses flavour. I highly recommend using a stout for a richer flavour moving into the cooler winter days.
