For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. I made this on 2 Aug 2020 and it is delicious!

    I made this as written on 2 Aug 2020, and it is good! The family that tried it really enjoyed it. The jalapeno imparts a good flavor, and the ale, very little flavor but I think it contributes to the overall taste of the cornbread. I will be making this again. I did change the pan size on the recipe from 8×8 to 7×11 for a more even cooking of the bread.

    Very good cornbread and very easy to put together. :))
