Ingredients

3 cups all purpose flour 363 grams
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/4 cup shredded cheese I used Monterey Jack, Colby and Cheddar mixture
12 ounce bottle of beer I used Blue Moon
4 slices of bacon cooked and chopped (or 1/4 cup real bacon bits)
2 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Prepare a 9"x5" bread pan by greasing with butter. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar with a whisk. Make a well in the center. Add bacon, about 3/4 of cheese and full beer into the well.
Stir mixture with a spoon until combined.
Pour mixture into prepared bread pan. Add remaining cheese. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of butter. Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and drizzle remaining butter over the top.
Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until browned on top and loaf thumps when you tap the top.
Remove to a wire rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool on wire rack. You can brush with more butter if you choose.
Enjoy!

Notes

If you are sensitive to beer, you can substitute lemon-lime soda or ginger ale. I HIGHLY recommend using the beer though. It gives it an incredible flavor that you will miss out on using the substitutions.
