{recipe} beer bread.

happy monday y'all! hope you are enjoying this early spring, i for one am thrilled it is here early. i spent my saturday celebrating my best friends birthed, we cruised around the rural road of northern virginia and headed to my new favorite place, paradise springs winery, it gets better every time.

yesterday, we hosted a post st. patrick's day feast with corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and beer bread. i have loved "fall apart meat" aka corned beef since i was a child and take full advantage of st. patty's day as a reason to make an irish meal with all the works.

this year, i decided to not only make the normal fixings, but also opted to make a loaf of beer bread. i was hesitant, and wasn't sure how it would come out. but i shocked myself. it came out amazing, so good in fact it is worth sharing with you all! amazingly crusty outside, soft and moist inside. perfection. enjoy!
