Really, it's simple arithmetic…or something like that: Beer is good. Banana bread is good. Beernana bread is great! Even guys who don't know their way around the kitchen can pull this one off. —Steve Cayford, Dubuque, Iowa

Can you freeze Beernana Bread?

Securely wrap cooled loaf in foil and then freeze. To use, thaw at room temperature.

Test Kitchen Tip
  • We loved Blue Moon beer in this recipe. Steer clear of the IPA's; they'll give the bread a bitter bite.
