Ensure your beer is at room temperature. Open it and let it sit for about 10–15 minutes to let it flatten slightly.
Add the ingredients to your bread machine pan in the following order: beer, shredded cheddar cheese, bread flour, salt, sugar, and dry mustard powder.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Ensure the yeast does not touch the liquid ingredients.
Place the bread machine pan into the machine and close the lid.
Select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting, choose a medium crust color, and start the machine.
Allow the bread machine to complete the mixing, kneading, rising, and baking cycles, which typically take about 3 hours depending on the model.
When the bread is done, carefully remove the pan from the bread machine and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
