a super easy, crowd pleasing side. plus a great way to utilize those lonely leftover beers kickin around in the fridge. this is another one of those customizable recipes where you can add whatever you feel like to compliment the meal (various herbs, olives, jalapeno…). this bread was being paired with a spicy pumpkin soup so i opted to mix in some grated cheese to cut some of that heat. beer bread can be a bit on the crumbly side, so cheese is also a delicious way to add moisture x
