Preparation

Step 1

Divide cheese in half. Cut half of cheese into 1/4-inch cubes; shred
remaining cheese. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking
powder, salt and pepper. Stir beer into dry ingredients just until
moistened. Fold in cheeses.
Transfer to a greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan. Drizzle with butter.
Bake at 375° for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted
near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing
from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf (12 slices).
