BEER BREAD WITH CHEDDAR
Whenever I spoke of the beer bread in this recipe collection, the immediate response
of any listener was always, “Does it have cheese in it?” So for all those lovers of beer
and cheese, here it is, and it is rich—like a pound cake. Cheddar cheese, a cheese with
lots of tang and often densely colored with annatto, used to be a product of the Mid-
west dairy states, but quickly became the most popular cheese from the Southwest to
New England. Use a young, mild Colby (they are sometimes sold just three days old,
and usually not older than three months), a cheese known for its firm texture, to com-
plement the strong flavor of the beer.
