Cheesy beer bread

I needed a side for our chili tonight and was growing sick of corn bread and crusty bread. I had remembered a beer cheese bread recipe I saved a while back and decided to whip it up today. This recipe is quite easy and very quick to make and paired with our chili perfectly! A great, comforting addition to any chili, stew, soup or fall meal!

ENJOY!

2 c. all purpose flour

1 c. whole wheat flour

1/3 c. packed brown sugar

12 oz. bottle of lager or stout
