Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Add the butter and use a fork or pastry blender to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles small pebbles. I usually give up and end up using my hands. Much easier :)

Add the cheddar and toss lightly. Add the buttermilk and beer and stir in with a wooden spoon just to combine. Don't over-mix! We want these light and fluffy.

Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the dough onto the baking sheet, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between biscuits.

Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm.
