Beer Cheese Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with 1 tablespoon of butter, then set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Stir in the shredded cheese and chopped chives.
Gradually pour the light beer over the dry ingredients and mix until just combined—don’t overmix!
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
