Stereo's Jalapeño Cheddar Beer Bread

We’re bringing you the second-best way to use beer…bread! It uses our I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU AND I WILL BEAT YOUR ASS JALAPENO PILSNER (or IANAOYAIWBYAJP for short, BYA for even shorter). This beer is a 2019 California Brewers Cup winner and has a distinct pepper aroma with a slight heat. It pairs perfectly with the addition of fresh pepper & cheddar to make a savory, morning/noon/night bread.

If you’re scared of baking bread, don’t be! This recipe is one of the easiest styles of bread to make. It’s hard to mess up, just don’t overmix! You want some carbonation left to give rise to the bread.

For ingredients, I recommend using high quality sharp to medium cheddar and shredding it yourself - it really makes a big difference. And I know it says bacon is optional…but is it?

Once you get a hang of making beer bread, you can experiment with your own pairings. Fresh herbs + Stereo pilsner or local honey + Tales of Brave Ulysses Scottish Ale! Show us what you make by tagging @stereobrewing

And a big thank you to my Aunt Sarah, baker extraordinaire, for helping us put this recipe together.
