I’ve had this mix from Brick Village Gourmet sitting around since we did the brewery tour at Southern Tier back in January and over the weekend I got bored and decided to bake this puppy up. Instructions are on the back, it’s pretty easy to follow.

I tried mixing this up in the KitchenAid but it’s really not that kind of dough. Just use a spatula, you’ll be better off. The instructions imply you can put the bread in just about pan you have around but I used a tradition buttered loaf pan.

Of course there’s no point in making beer bread without enjoying another New York brew while you’re waiting for it to bake in the oven.

About 30 minutes later you have something that comes out looking like this. Not too shabby huh?

The consistency was like a mix between that of regular bread and banana bread. Elise didn’t love it, but I didn’t mind. This slathered up with garlic butter made a pretty tasty treat.
