(Different) Irish Soda Bread image

A little different than most soda bread recipes, which makes it even more delicious! The beer and pepper add a little different flavor, not mention a genuine Irish-ness. I got this out of a Woman's World magazine. This bread tastes best eaten right out of the oven.
