What else I baked: Honey Beer Bread

I sent a text to a friend yesterday "I don't know what all this baking is about" and then after the bread turned out SO SO SO delicious and nummy and buttery and stuff your face scrumptious, she replied "Perhaps that is what the baking is all about"  Indeed, it is.

This honey beer bread seemed like a good way to get rid of the orphan weird beers I have left in my fridge, so I indulged more baking yesterday afternoon. I used a Brau Brother's Strawberry Wheat (I told you it was weird) and since it was sweet, I thought dried fruit might be good.  I had a tiny amount of dried cranberries so I threw those in and then I remembered I had walnuts.  OOOoooooh yea, cranberry walnut honey strawberry beer bread.  No matter that there's half an effing stick of butter dumped on the bread as well.  It was absolutely incredible.  I even was smart and didn't put the butter on the top until it was mostly baked so it didn't get all burned and gross.  It was not too sweet from the strawberry beer nor from the cranberries, I probably only put in a good handful as it was all I had left, so maybe 1/3 of a cup, and it turned out oh so malty and buttery and carby-wonderful.  I have one more strawberry beer and a stout, I'll have to do some googling and see what else might be tasty in those versions!

Update 3/11/13:
I made this bread with molasses because I had eaten all my honey and a random stout from the fridge--OMG, so delicious.  Of course, it was a bit more brown but that was to be expected.  It's official, you cannot eff this bread up and it's positively amazing.
