The Beer That Started it All!
I experienced Karl Strauss for the first time when my girlfriend took me to the Carlsbad Restaurant. Red Trolley was my first sip of the San Diego craft beer scene, which soon became a giant chug. When I decided to learn everything I could about beer bread, I knew that Karl Strauss’ Red Trolley was the first beer I wanted to bake with.

Conclusion
This is the foundation of beer bread. You can build on top of that and experiment if you like. This a dense and lightly sweet beer bread that would go great with stews and soups.
