I forgot you had that and made the one from Recipzaar that came up first:

3 cups flour (sifted)
3 teaspoons baking powder (omit if using Self-Rising Flour)
1 teaspoon salt (omit if using Self-Rising Flour)
1/4 cup sugar
1 (12 ounce) can beer
1/2 cup melted butter (1/4 cup will do just fine)

So basically the same thing with more sugar and none of the herbs/cheese. I should definitely try some "add-ins". And the baking powder was actually a new container, just opened a couple weeks ago, so I'm not having any issues with that (and it made some kick ass cinnamon chip scones earlier this week!)

Did you use the recipe I have on my site for the Beer Bread? it’s killer man… hard to mess up.

Most likely issue with beer bread is your baking powder is old – or gone dead…

So are you using basically the same recipe/starter and the results are improving, or you’re just having fun with different varieties?

Man, I’ve really got to get back to baking some bread. And the lackluster beer bread I made this past weekend doesn’t count!
