Swiss Beer Bread

Oktober Fest is looming.  Other than the occasional pretzel, I'm not much of a participant.  The only thing I like about beer is that it make a mighty fine bread.  In fact, I'm lost when it comes to buying beer, and anytime a recipe calls for I usually stand in a convenience store looking for one can to purchase....all this to say, you probably shouldn't send me out on a beer run.  BUT, you should try this beer.  It really is good, and....unlike a lot of breads, the beer does all the work...none of that yeast+hot water funny business, and certainly no kneeding.  I'm all about the lazy mans recipes.  I found this one via Taste of Home.
