Dick, in my collection of about 7,000 bread recipes there are no recipes 
that have all three key words of Corn, Rye & Beer. I have several with Rye 
& Beer which are hereunder. Also, there are another 20 or so that have 
corn/beer or corn/rye. Hope these help, I have been attempting to reproduce 
a baguette style loaf with whole wheat and a light sourdough flavour for 
about 12 months now after buying it on a road trip. I'll get there one day.

Holiday Rye Bread

3 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons fennel seed
2 packages fleischmann's® active dry yeast; * see note
1 cup beer or malt liquor
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup light molasses
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 1/2 cups medium rye flour
molasses glaze

In large bowl mix 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, sugar, orange peel, salt, 
fennel seed and undissolved yeast.

Heat beer, water, molasses and butter to 125 to 130F, add to dry 
ingredients. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping 
bowl occasionally. Add 1/2 cup all purpose flour, beat at high speed 2 
minutes scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in rye flour and enough remaining 
all purpose flour to make soft dough.

Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 
minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover, let rise in 
warm, draft free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Punch dough down, turn out onto lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 
equal pieces. Roll each to 10 × 6 inches. Roll each up tightly from long 
side, as for jelly roll, tapering ends, pinch seams to seal. Place on 
greased baking sheets. Cover, let rise in warm, draft free place until 
doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

With sharp knife, make 3 diagonal cuts on top of each loaf; brush with 
molasses glaze. Bake at 375F for 15 minutes, brush loaves with glaze. Bake 
additional 10 minutes or until done. Remove loaves from oven and brush 
again with glaze. Cool on wire racks.

Molasses Glaze: Mix 2 tablespoons of molasses with 2 tablespoons of water 
until well blended.

NOTES : *To save up to 50% rising time use Fleischmann's(r) Rapid Rise Yeast.

Follow above directions except reduce first rising: cover kneaded dough and 
let rest on floured surface 10 minutes. Proceed with recipe.

Limpa (Swedish Beer Bread)

1.00 pkg yeast, dry
1.00 teaspoon sugar, granulated
0.50 cup ; water, warm (100 f.)
2.00 cup beer; heated to lukewarm
0.50 cup honey; to 1/2 cup
2.00 tablespoon butter; melted
2.00 teaspoon salt
1.00 teaspoon cardamom, ground (opt)
1.00 tablespoon caraway seeds; crushed, or
0.75 teaspoon aniseed; crushed
2.00 tablespoon orange peel, fresh or candied; chopped
2.50 cup flour, rye
3.00 cup flour, unbleached

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the water in a large bowl and proof for 
five minutes. Combine the beer, the honey (adjust for how sweet you like 
your bread) butter, and salt, and stir well. Add to the yeast mixture. Add 
the spices and orange peel. Mix the flours, then add three cups of this 
mixture to the liquid and beat briskly. Cover with a tea towel, and let 
rise in a warm, dark place for about an hour. Stir down and add enough of 
the remaining flour to make a pretty stiff but still sticky dough. Turn out 
on a very well-floured board, and work the dough until it is smooth and 
elastic. Add more flour to the board as needed. While the dough will not 
lose its tackiness completely it will smooth out a lot. Shape it into a 
ball, oil the surface, and place in an oiled bowl. Cover with the tea towel 
again and let rise a second time, about one hour. Punch down, shape into 
two balls, and put on a greased baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Brush 
with melted butter, cover loosely with waxed paper, and refrigerate for 
three hours. Remove from the fridge and let sit on the counter, uncovered, 
for ten to fifteen minutes. Bake in a 375 F. oven until the bread sounds 
hollow when tapped on the bottom; about 40 to 45 minutes. Cool before slicing.

Sour Beer Rye

1 cup beer, flat, room temp
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 1/4 cup bread flour
1 cup whole rye flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup gluten flour
1 teaspoon dill weed, dried
1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon honey
4 teaspoon active dry yeast

Combine the beer and the vinegar in a small bowl and set aside for ten 
minutes. This was wonderful when I used a dark bock beer, much more 
flavorful then when I used a low cost generic beer. But the bread is good 
no matter which brand that you use. I substituted regular salt for the Sea 
Salt, with no ill effects.

Add ingredients in the order specified by your breadmaker. Let cool on rack 
for at least one hour after it has baked.
