You might as well use club soda for all the flavor it adds.

You should be able to find beer bread mixes in your grocery store or on-line and it's fun to experiment. The beer is necessary because it leavens the mix, making the dough rise, but if you don't get any taste out of the beer, you really miss out on possibilities.
You said you order yours in bulk from Amazon?
