Yes, you can use any type of beer for beer bread. The type of beer you choose will affect the flavor and color of the bread. A light beer will give the bread a milder flavor and a lighter color, while a darker beer will give the bread a richer flavor and a darker color.
Some popular types of beer to use for beer bread include lagers, pilsners, wheat beers, and even stouts or porters. We typically use a light beer including Ultra, or a Bud Light. We do not suggest using a stout or porter if you are just trying beer bread for the first time, it may turn out tasting different then what you were expecting! You can also experiment with flavored beers, such as pumpkin ale or fruit beers, for a unique twist on traditional beer bread.
It's important to note that when using beer in bread recipes, the alcohol content will cook off during the baking process, so the bread will not be alcoholic. Additionally, if you are sensitive to gluten, be sure to use a gluten-free beer or substitute another liquid, such as soda or carbonated water.
