This Beer Bread Recipe is a yeast-free quick bread leavened with baking powder and beer or any other carbonated beverage like clear soda, ginger ale, or sparkling water. It’s soft and delicious, perfect with butter or creamy dips and spreads.
Like other quick bread recipes, Beer Bread rises through a reaction that leavens the batter ingredients. Some recipes rely on just baking powder or baking soda, while others pair one of those leavening agents with an acidic ingredient like buttermilk or lemon juice.
In this easy beer bread recipe, the carbonation in beer (or soda, sparkling water, or alcoholic beer) reacts with baking powder to create carbon dioxide. This leavens the dough without yeast.
Classic Beer Bread
For a lighter bread color and mild taste, choose a lighter beer such as a lager, ale, or pilsner. For a darker-colored loaf, choose a stout or porter beer with a stronger flavor. Avoid Hoppy beers such as IPAs which have a bitter taste.
You can also choose your beer based on what the bread will be served with. Stouts and other dark beers compliment stews and roasts. IPAs compliment soups, chicken, and pork dishes. Ales and hard ciders complement the taste of lighter dishes and salads.
Yes, beer bread contains alcohol (unless you make it with something besides beer like sparkling water, ginger ale, or a non-alcoholic beer). Baking the bread does not “cook off” 100% the alcohol, but it does remove the majority of it. If you are abstaining from alcohol for health, religious, or any other reasons, make beer bread with clear soda, ginger ale, sparkling water, or non-alcoholic beer.

Because the majority of alcohol in the beer bakes off while baking beer bread, it is fine to serve beer bread to children. If you have any concerns about it, though, just use a clear soda or sparkling water to make beer bread.

I’ve never been a fan of beer. When I was a younger, my dad ordered a beer with his dinner at a restaurant. It came out bubbly and looked intriguing, so I asked him how it tasted. He tried describing it and the puzzled look on my face convinced him to just let me have a little taste to see for myself.
Three Ingredient Beer Bread Recipe
To this day, I still don’t understand what people find appealing about it. It’s just not tasty! At least, in my opinion.
If you’re anything like me, then the thought of beer flavored food doesn’t really sound appealing. That’s why when I say this bread doesn’t taste like beer, you can believe it! It’s almost like using coffee to flavor chocolate cake. Even if you don’t care for coffee, you can’t really taste it in the final product. It just enhances the chocolate.
It’s similar in this case, although the yeast in the beer is what gives rise to the bread. That’s why this bread doesn’t call for additional yeast in the recipe. It doesn’t need to be kneaded either! Just stir it together, pour it in the pan, and bake! Easiest bread ever!

If you’re worried about the alcohol, just know that most of it evaporates as it bakes, so it’s safe to eat. However, if it still bothers you, just use plain seltzer water in lieu of the beer. 🙂
This bread is perfect when you want homemade bread in less than an hour or if you need a quick side to go with dinner! Feel free to add herbs, minced garlic, or shredded cheese to add even more flavor! You can even make quick “rolls” by dividing the batter into muffin cups and baking 20-25 minutes. Enjoy!

**I used Stella Artois, but any beer will work. Light colored beers leave less of a “beer” flavor in the finished bread.
