Easy Cheesy Beer Bread

My mom always makes up pans of lasagna and hands them out to fellow family members. I love just defrosting it in my fridge throughout the day, then throwing it in the oven when I get home from work. Such a quick, simple, tasty meal. However, I felt like I needed something else with it tonight - like more carbs! I've been eying this bread for awhile now so I figured I might as well make it tonight since a) I have to wait for my oven to preheat which always takes forever, b) the bread seemed super simple to whip up, c) it will go well with tomorrow night's soup too, and d) it bakes for the same amount of time as the lasagna. Win-win all around. So here you go friends.
