i took the chance when i saw the price but it exceeded my expectation. i have a couple of co-workers who sell tastefully simple beer bread mix, but buying thru them is not only pain, but gets expensive (alomst double price compared with this brand)

this dassant beer bread mix is as good as tastefully simple mix, why i spend more money?

For the last couple years Trader Joe's was carrying the best Beer Bread mix I have ever tested, but they discontinued it a few months ago, to my very great dismay. I contacted their corporate offices to see if I could find out who their supplier was, but no go. They wouldn't spill. I took the ingredient list and searched the internet for a product with as close as possible to the same ingredients in the same order (about the same amounts) until I found a match. After all, some company out there was making it for them and maybe with the same formulation.

This has the same ingredients in the same order and almost identical preparation instructions. The Trader Joe's product was dense and rich with the flavor of whichever beer you chose coming through gently in the background. Caution, do not use a beer with a strong hops flavor, as this isn't complimentary to bread flavors. I use standard commercial American yellow beer or something with a maltier flavor like a pale ale or a mild Bitter, though watch out for the hops. A good fresh beer gives the bread that nice yeasty flavor.

There are two differences between this mix and the Trader Joe's, the batter is a bit thinner which actually makes it easier to handle and the flavor is a bit sweeter. The Trader Joe's bread was just under having a sweet taste and this has a definite mild sweetness which I don't care for, but it is slight. If you never had the Trader Joe's mix, then you will likely love this if you like heavy filling flavorful breads. GREAT TOASTED!

This bread has a good taste. It is sweet, so if you are looking for a bread that is savory, this is not for you.

This bread is totaly awesome and it is totaly easy to prepare! My husband LOVES it and frequently requests it with dinner. The taste is so simple and sweet, the bread is dense and moist, you can't beat hot out of the oven beer bread and this mix is a great deal with great results! Such a perfect accompaniment to soup for a filling meal or with a hearty crockpot roast.

I've been using and enjoying Dassant Classic Beer Bread for many years. It is delicious and very simple to make. It is a family favorite, especially when served with "Grandma's Soup" or a hearty beef stew.

Beer bread is a family favorite but buying mixes from Tastefully Simple regularly gets expensive and the beer bread we've made from scratch just isn't the same. That's why I was so happy to find this Dassant beer bread mix. It tastes great and for a little over $2 a mix you can't go wrong. I would like to order more but can't find it on the Amazon site anymore. I hope that's a temporary situation as my family loves it!

I love this bread mix! I cannot recommend it enough!

Just a caveat: It is NOT formulated for a bread machine. Though my Amazon search was for "Bread Machine Mixes" and many Dassant products come up in the search, Dassant has told me that they are NOT meant for bread machines and that the results would be "disappointing."

Again, love the mix, but not for a bread machine.

I am a huge fan of the Dassant mixes. They are all so good - it's great to find such an excellent product. I've tried the beer bread mix with a variety of liquids. I've used beer, root beer, ginger ale, Jamaican ginger beer - they are all excellent. And it throws together in a very short time also. Highly recommend.

This is a top notch product - now getting my second shipment...they are going to make some very practical Christmas gifts. I've made some with pale ale, dark ale and just plain old American beer. Using room temperature beer seems to work best. Every loaf has been perfect.

This is by far the best beer bread on the market. Simple like all the others, but the quality and taste are unmatched. Amazon pricing is tremendous. Don't bother with the competition. Dassant has put the best product out there.
