This recipe is from The Pastry Affair, but I’ve been seeing various beer quick breads bouncing around the blogosphere for a while now.  Sadly, I used some random beer Art picked up once and, well, it sucked.  The bread was horrible and we ended up throwing it away after trying a slice.  I think I’ll try this again with a nice, mild beer.
