I have been through several and would recommend making bread with a mixer. Bread makers over work the dough and give the bread a poor texture.

There is a brilliant recipe I can recommend. It is probably on-line. Mrs Zacharova's bread which i pretty foolproof.

The only place I can see it on-line it is in a foreign language but I expect you can translate it .

You might not be able to get yeast or, indeed bread flour but there is a very good recipe for beer bread several ties on-line. Self-raising flour, beer and a bit of sugar. I have just made some that I have put salt in for flavour and it has risen but I have not tasted it yet.

You'd need the right beer. Some bottled beers are pasteurised which kills off any further yeast activity.

If you know anyone who does home brewing scrounge a bottle off them.

Otherwise, although it's a clat, you can make your own sourdough starter; plenty of recipes on-line :-)

You don't need the right beer at all.

I have just made some with a 2per cent bitter that costs £1 for tins in Sainsbury's.

One type of medieval bread, possibly maslen read, I can't remember, was made with beer froth.
