Savory Pumpkin Beer Bread

This recipe is supposed to be savory pumpkin beer bread, but instead we ended up with savory pumpkin beer bread.  (basically we used regular beer instead of pumpkin beer)

Ingredients:

3 cups unbleached, self-rising flour

3 tbsp light brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg (I only used a pinch, then added a bit extra cinnamon)

1/8 tsp allspice

1 cup pumpkin

12 ounces room temperature pumpkin beer (we ended up using Sam Adams Octoberfest)

butter

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350, and grease a 9x 5" loaf pan with shortening.
2. Whisk together the flour, sugar and spices.
3. Add the pumpkin and the beer and stir until combined.
4. Spoon into prepared loaf pan, and bake about 1 hour.  
5. Let cool in the pan 5 minutes, then remove from pan and place on a cooling rack.
6. Pour melted butter on top of the bread, letting it drip down the sides. 

  Enjoy while still warm, toasted with butter, or sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for a sweet treat.
