    I love Guinness, and I love banana bread. This has to be good. I’d love to give this a try!

    This is so fun and funny! We put guiness on our green onion steamed mussel for Paddy’s Day, but this is even more risky. We’ll give it a try? Best, s

    I made chocolate cupcakes with Guinness and they were definitely moist and delicious. I can only imagine how good this banana bread must taste!

    I am LOVING how this looks! I wonder if you used a “spicy” beer or a fruity one if it would be just as good??

    I love banana bread and have made it before. This looks like an interesting recipe and will have to try it.

    I’ve made this recipe several times now, and my favorite variation includes chopped dried pears and a sweeter milk stout instead of
    Guinness. I prefer to drink the Guinness (as opposed to the sweet stout) whilst baking, thus I’m still able to call it Guinness Banana Bread and friends and family are none the wiser!

  15. Comment by Santa on 11 August 2009:

    I love recipes that use bananas, since they are resonably priced year round. This one looks tasty.

  16. Comment by RotnRod on 5 September 2009:

    Come on, has anyone actually tried this one yet as it’s published other than the last post? How about someone getting the ambition to MAKE the bread and then commenting?

  17. Comment by vanD on 5 September 2009:

    I made it today…nice big loaf, very moist. True, it is not a very sweet bread (I used white & brown sugar). The sweetness is that of a nut bread, not a dessert. it took the full hour & 10 min. to bake. I like it!!

  18. Comment by Jane Doughnut on 8 September 2009:

    I made this yesterday, as well as a spiced pear banana bread. The Guinness banana bread recipe beat the pear one hands down. There is a certain heartiness to this bread, it has an unexpected taste to it that it great. I was skeptical about the flavor prior to making it but tried it out anyway, just to see. Pleasantly surprised!

    Baked this for the first time and boy was it moist!!!! My grandma tried the bread and all but threw out her traditional banana bread recipe and asked me to give her this one!!! Defiantly a new addition to the family recipe books!!!
