Greek Yogurt Beer Bread

I am a huge fan of beer bread.  It’s fast, moist, delicious, and usually hits the spot to go with some kind of soup when I’m not wanting cornbread.  It is versatile, the flavor varying a lot depending on what kind of beer you use.  But this, THIS is my absolute favorite.  Pabst Blue Ribbon is a great beer for cooking.  Fantastic flavor, mild, yeasty, oh and CHEAP.  The addition of Greek yogurt was last minute but inspired.  The end result was rich, moist, DENSE and DELICIOUS.  Makes 12 servings at 148 calories and less than half a gram of fat.
