Beer bread is so nostalgic for me. It feels very 90s. I remember my mom making it from some sort of boxed mix she got at a party… maybe like a pampered chef party?? Anyway, it was SO good! There was always something delicious about it. Like it was very biscuit-like and perfect for dipping.
Does anyone else remember this? It was definitely a 90s or early 2000s thing and was a recipe we’d make in the fall. As soon as it got cold, beer bread sounded great.Â
So eventually, I started making my own. This asiago beer bread is a hugely popular recipe here on the blog – it’s divine with soup and so easy to make.Â
Beer bread uses an entire bottle of beer. And no, it doesn’t taste like beer, but it uses it for leavening the bread. And it has the most buttery, crisp exterior.
Plus, then we add in cheddar… the cheese makes it.
Also, it’s super buttery because you pour an entire melted stick of butter OVER the beer bread dough. Yes. Don’t get it twisted – this is a step you absolutely do not want to skip. OR skimp. Don’t use less butter. The butter is what gives you the excellent crust. Not to mention, it makes it taste so incredibly amazing.
Let me tell you how simple this is!
It’s a bit of flour, baking soda and salt. A touch of sugar!Â
Then we have the grated cheddar. Make sure to grate it fresh. Also, a ton of sliced green onions.Â
Next, a whole bottle of beer to bring it together. 12 ounces!
And finally, a stick of butter, melted and poured over top of the batter.Â
THE BEST.
I’m pretty sure it’s divine intervention that I’m giving you this recipe right before Halloween. It would be a great pre-trick or treating side dish.Â
The inside is so flakey and tender. The outside is so crisp and buttery!
The cheddar swirled throughout the bread gives it even more flavor and is everything you want it to be.
Serve it with soup or just as a snack!

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9×5 loaf pan with nonstick spray.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Stir in the cheddar cheese and green onions. Add in the beer and stir until combined.
-
Scoop the batter into the 9×5 pan. Pour the melted butter directly on top of the bread batter.
-
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until golden on top and set in the center. Let cool fully before slicing and serving! This also freezes very well.
This should be a food group.
