| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | Empty beer cans | |
| 2 | tablespoons | Soda |
| 1 | cup | Dates |
| 2 | cups | Beer |
| 3 | tablespoons | Butter |

Directions
Remove tops from beer cans with can opener; lightly oil insides.
Sprinkle soda on dates. Heat beer to boiling and pour over date/soda mixture; set aside to cool. Cream together butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and eggs. Stir in flour. Add nuts and cooled date mixture.
Spoon batter into cans, filling only ½ full. Bake with cans standing up on cookie sheet, at 350 degrees for 15-30 minutes; look for tops to split and test for doneness. Do not cut bread for 1 day; bread may break up, if it is sliced while still warm.
