Q: Can I use this bread for a sandwich?

A: You can, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's best on its own with butter or honey or as toast. It's not a super sturdy bread, so it might not hold up as sandwich bread.

Q: What is beer bread?

A: It's just what it sounds like-bread made with beer! The beer and baking soda help the bread rise, so no yeast is needed.

Q: What kind of beer should I use for beer bread?

A: Any kind of beer works. If you use a dark beer, your bread will be darker and have a more intense beer flavor. If you use a light beer, your bread will be lighter with a more subtle flavor.
