Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar
1 (12 oz) can room-temperature beer (light beer or medium depending on your flavor preference)
1/2 cup chopped green chiles (about 2 4-oz cans, drained)
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus more for topping (mild or sharp both work)
Additional melted butter for brushing on top

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. Whisk in melted butter and honey until flour is a bit clumpy.
Pour beer into dry ingredients and add green chiles and cheddar. Fold batter until just combined.
Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Sprinkle additional cheddar cheese over top if desired. Bake beer bread at 350F 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Brush warm bread with additional melted butter if desired. Cool bread in pan 15 minutes, then use parchment to lift out of pan and transfer to a wire cooling rack. Allow bread to cool at least 45 minutes before slicing. Serve bread warm and enjoy!
