This recipe come from the Nitty Gritty book Quick Breads by Kyte and Greenbery 1979. I am getting quite a collection of these little oblong books. When I went to the cookbook store I picked up this one and another double sided one- Quiche & Souffle a 2 in 1 cookbook. While looking at their publications listed in the front I noticed the tag line "Books designed with giving in mind". Don't think I ever got one as a gift. I need to get all of mine together and count how many I have.
The net has hundreds if not thousands of references to beer bread or beer muffin/rolls. I don't think I have come across a beer coffee cake before.
