The amazing thing about baking with beer grains is that they can add an amazing amount of sweetness to bread. This bread was surprisingly sweet and went great with fruit and cheese. I may pull back on the amount of grains for a more classic loaf bread for sandwiches, but I will pull out this recipe for cheese fondues and fun lunches!
