It was wonderful! Will definitely add this to my regular quick bread recipes. It is very dense, but I think beer breads are. Used a stray can of Coors Lite, but would prefer a heavier beer or IPA. Served this bread with stuffed pepper soup.

I think the 3 cups of flour is way to much. The bread had a nice flavour but was very dense and more like a savoury paste glue than bread texture wise.

With the abundance of zucchini this year, I made it again but this time, I used an IPA and I added an egg because I felt the baking powder wasn't quite enough for the lift needed. It turned out perfect the second time, it wasn't gooey and has great crumb. Also using different beers didn't make any difference in flavor to me.

I used 2 1/2c flour and seasoned it heavily with oregano, Italian seasoning, garlic powder,minced garlic, cayenne, &onion powder. Salad spinner to get the water out of zuchinni. I used sharp cheddar and aged white cheddar about 1.5c, green onion and hot honey. Then added Stella Beer and a large dallop of sour cream. Muffin tin w melted butter on top and baked at 350° for about 20-25min. They turned out way better but I can't say I would make this again.
