Pumpkin Beer Bread
Pumpkin Beer Bread is one of the easiest quick breads to make this fall! Slightly sweet with cinnamon honey butter on the top, this bread goes great with hearty soups and stews.
I’m not the world’s biggest pumpkin spice fiend, but I definitely get into seasonal baking. There are some people who get really into seasonal decorations and keep their houses looking beautiful inside and out (like my neighbors.) Meanwhile my house always seems to look half-abandoned from the outside, with a few papers piled in the driveway and the lawn half maintained with patchy long spots. Eh, what can I say? My lawn service boy is 11 and gets easily distracted. While I can’t keep up with the pretty seasonal decorations, we’re definitely enjoying seasonal flavors in the kitchen.
Apples and pumpkins and cinnamon, oh my! Last week I shared a recipe for apple upside down gingerbread. This week I’ve got another family favorite, pumpkin spice beer bread. My kids go nuts for beer bread and we also love this honey variety. Seriously, their love for it sometimes borders on embarrassing when we’re at the grocery store and I’ve got my youngest son loudly begging me to puh-lease, pretty please, won’t I please buy some beer! Let me tell you, having your kids beg you to buy beer at the grocery store will get you some weird looks. LOL.
Pumpkin beer bread is a breeze to make and goes great with soups and stews. Slightly sweet, baked with cinnamon honey butter on the top and spiced just right on the inside.

Just put this in the oven to be served with my braised pot roast, later, for dinner!

This looks amazing Amy…love anything pumpkin! 🙂
I love how you suggest that this bread would go well with soup! I love to make bread at home and something new like this would be great for a party or gathering!

I’m a total fall baking fiend, but that’s where it stops – my house is definitely not decorated, who has time for that!!
I can totally see why your kids love this so much, so delicious! And I love how easy it is to make!
This is creative! I sense your kitchen smells good 🙂
Yes! The cinnamon honey butter topping that goes over the top as it bakes really makes it smell wonderful.
