    I've always found the nuttiness of Sam Smith's Nut Brown contributed to an overall flavor of something similar to all grain bread.

    Marzens, oktoberfest, bock, doppelbock beers all have that bready flavor. Doppelbock especially more than others have that liquid bread flavor like a Paulaner Salvator.

    American pale wheat ales, assuming they aren't too heavily hopped, are pretty bready and can use cleaner yeasts and so can often be less fruity than something like a hefeweizen. For instance something like Goose Island 312 Urban Wheat has wheat breadiness without the banana and clove you'd get from a hefeweizen (IMHO).

    Otherwise I'd join my voice to those others suggesting a helles.

    Yea from what I read it is often made by soft drink manufacturers as well as breweries, I am thinking I definitely want to find some stuff made by a brewery.

    Ya as stated from what I am reading about Kvass it is made by both beer and soft drink manufacturers, and is often served with the yest still in it! That sounds fascinating and I definitely want to try it, both the soft drink and the beer manufacturer varieties. Particularly the latter.
    I will keep that in mind ;P
    Any and all breads and parts
    I actually would love to find a beer that tastes like sourdough bread. But peach? That sounds like the sort of thing I am trying to avoid.


    Again thank you all so much. I have been eagerly jotting down most of these suggestions.

    WILD BEER SOURDOUGH. It feels like eating a liquid bread.

    I tried Leinenkugel's double butt dopplebock. Was pretty good. Am always open to anything that tastes even breadier and am still looking for some of the beers suggested.

    Wild Beer Sourdough sounds intriguing.

    Will be experimenting with making kvass soon.

    Atwater has a recently released a Dortmunder Lager called Cash for Gold, it has a nice malty spicy bread flavor.

    I got a nice banana bread vibe from SN Kellerweis. Also, Troegs Cultivator has a very nice bready backbone on it.

    I always thought Anchor Steam beer tastes a lot like bread maybe even sourdough.

    For the sake of posterity, I'll note two beers no longer in production that I think were exactly what you're looking for:
    Mister Mike's Light Ale - New Haven Brewing Company (last tasted 1996)
    Shipyard Light - Shipyard Brewing Company (https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/139/1134/)
    If you find what you're looking for, feel free to let me know - I love bready beers too.

    A comment on Kvass - the one I had did not taste bready, more like watered down tea. Drain pour. Perhaps there are better examples than the one I had; https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/709/65393/

    Also - don't dismiss Hefeweizens if you are looking for bready, just because it has a slight banana flavor. A good Hefeweizen tastes exactly like eating bread dough, and there is only a hint of banana and clove flavor. Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier is widely recognized as the best, but make sure it is fresh; https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/252/731/

    It's local but Hummingbird Helles is very low on the bitter, so most of that malt and yeast are right up front.

    British ales. Milds and dark Milds. Even some bitters can be bready. I find that Beers made with Maris Otter and Munich malts tend to be biscuity and bready...and delicious.
