I don't know what kind of beer bread Greg is making, but I make an easy
beer bread:

Beer Bread
Recipe By :Janet Wilder
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:40
Categories : Breads
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 can beer -- 12 oz room temp.
3 c self-rising flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp butter -- melted(optional)
Measure flour and sugar into a medium-sized bowl. Add beer and stir
well until a batter is formed. Let stand 5 min. Grease a loaf pan with
cooking spray. Brush top of loaf with margarine, if desired. Bake at
350° until top is light brown and bottom of loaf sounds hollow when
rapped (approx. 35-40 min.) Turn out loaf and cool.
This is a dense bread with a large crumb. It goes great with chili and
stews and toasts up rather nicely, too. One always sees little boxes or
bags of beer bread mix in souvenir stores for $5 or $6 bucks. I have
added herbs to this bread and have even upped the sweetener and added a
little cinnamon and some raisins. It's very versatile.
I used the Alt key-number thing to do the degree symbol.
