here´s one i used to make at the bakery here:

(sorry, i only have the measurements in grams):

325 ml wheat beer(warm)
450g white flour
25g butter
2T liquid malt(the same for beer brewing)
1t salt
1 package dry yeast

mix beer and yeast together and let sit 10 mins.
mix beer/yeast mix and rest of ingredients all together and beat until dough is smooth (no lumps), and doesnt stick to sides of mixing bowl. (may need to add a litttle more flour, the flour here is a bit different.)
let sit a minute or two.
flatten with your hands on work surface.
form into loaf by folding in sides first, then the top and bottom, lightly pounding each side so it sticks together. turn so seal is on the bottom.
place on wax paper covered baking tray.
cover with a kitchen towel and let rise till size is almost doubled.
after rising, lightly brush top with water and cut 3 diagonal cuts in top.
bake at 350 degrees for about 45-55 minutes.

bored at work..... so here are conversions for the above (which sounds mighty tasty!)

just shy of 11oz wheat beer (10.98oz) which means the last nip is for you :)
just shy of 1lb white flour (.992lb)
.88oz butter

a lot of people get beer to brew up there - it must be possible
