Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a loaf pan by greasing with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and sugar.

Add the beer and stir until a soft dough begins to form.

Stir in the shredded cheese.

Place the dough in the prepared bread pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer loaf to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Combine the butter, garlic powder and dried parsley in a small bowl. Brush the mixture over the top of the bread before serving.
