When visiting Ireland, you’ll notice Irish brown bread is served at almost every pub and restaurant with a side of creamy Irish butter.
It’s as common as a pint of Guinness and is typically made with a bit of Guinness too!
Add the dry ingredients (whole wheat flour, rolled oats, salt, baking soda) to a mixing bowl and blend together with a whisk. Once they look blended, mix in the brown sugar.
Make a sort of hole or well in the dry flour mix to make room for the liquid ingredients. Pour in the molasses, Guinness, buttermilk, honey, and melted butter.
Stir together with a spoon or spatula until all the ingredients are well mixed. It’s best to do this by hand so the ingredients don’t get over mixed.

Spread the dough into the loaf pan with a spatula, making sure to press it into the corners. Draw or cut a line down the middle of the dough with the spatula to give the bread a vent to expand.
Garnish the top of the Irish brown bread by sprinkling the top of the dough with rolled oats.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
