Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and coat with butter.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
Set aside 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese. Mix the rest of the shredded cheddar with the diced jalapenos.
Add the beer and melted butter to the mixture.
Stir until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Top with the reserved shredded cheese and additional jalapeno slices, if desired.
Bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool slightly on a wire rack.
Slice and serve warm with butter and a drizzle of honey, or enjoy at room temperature.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using a bold beer.
Ensure the jalapenos are finely diced for even distribution.
This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container.
