Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C), grease and flour an 9x5 inch loaf pan (23 x 12 centimeters)
In a medium bowl add sifted flour mixture and sugar, beer and 1/4 cup of the melted butter. Mix together with a wooden spoon just until combined. (I did 18 stirs with a wood spoon).
Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan top with the remaining 1/4 cup of melted butter and bake for approximately 55 - 60 minutes, check for doneness with a toothpick.
Let sit in loaf pan for 5 minutes before removing, then let sit 10 minutes before cutting. Enjoy!

Notes

How to store the beer bread

Beer bread tastes best the same day it’s baked when the crust is crisp and the inside is soft. If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Avoid refrigerating, since it will dry out the loaf more quickly. For longer storage, freeze slices for up to 3 months and rewarm before serving.
