How to Make Honey Wheat Beer Bread

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar.
Add 1/4 cup honey and 1 1/2 cups beer (honey wheat, regular, or flavored – your choice!), stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Brush evenly over the top of the dough.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
