I love this recipe for Cheddar Chive Beer Bread. It’s easy and delicious. The chives add a savory twist to the bread.
Use a good flavor of bottled beer! It’ll make a difference. Non alcoholic beer may be substituted.

This is our favorite bread! I make one with chives and one with jalapeños for larger get together. Instead of bread, many times I make muffins. It tends to go farther that way. So easy and delicious!
