Beer Bread

It really is almost too easy, and it really is wonderfully delicious, especially slathered in butter.  This recipe comes from Farmgirl Fare, which has lots of great recipes.  It is best made with a light blond beer, though I think a stout would be wonderful too (in general, stay away from hoppy beers - the hoppier the beer, the more bitter the bread).  I have also substituted straight up oats as well as buckwheat flour for some of the wheat flour (so 1c white, 1c oats or buckwheat, 1c wheat or buckwheat).  Be advised that if you add a whole cup of oats, you should add a couple extra tbsps flour.
