Combine beer, flour, and sugar and mix well with wooden spoon. Pour into greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Pour butter over batter after it's in the pan.  Bake at 375 for 50 minutes.

Combine 1st 3 ingredients. Roll each half on a lightly floured surface to form 2 inch circles. Brush tops generously with butter mix, reserving 1/4 of mixture to brush on tops at end). Fold each roll in half (buttered side on the inside of fold) and place on greased cookie sheet . Brush with remaining butter mix. Let rolls rise 35-45 minutes until double in size and then Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.
