Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard loaf pan (9×5 inches) with butter or nonstick spray. Line the bottom with parchment for easy removal.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Slowly pour the beer into the dry mix, stirring with a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.

Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Optionally sprinkle with sea salt or herbs.

Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the batter for a rich, golden crust.

Bake for 45–55 minutes until the crust is deep golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the loaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy warm.
