Cornbread made with Wheat Beer and Cheese

Cornbread is a great hearty addition to any meal—it ups the cozy-factor any fall or winter meal, and can stretch out a meal when extra guests show up no matter the time of year. The best way to make cornbread is in a cast iron skillet, but don’t sweat it if you don’t have one at the cottage—any old cake pan will work fine. Since most of the liquid in a standard cornbread is milk or buttermilk, cutting it with wheat beer lightens up the recipe and adds a little flavour.  Pair it with Buzzard’s Breath Stout Chili. Makes 12 large slices.
