Beer Cheese Dip

Prep Time:  5 minutes

     Cook Time:  10-15 minutes

     Serves:  6

This savory beer cheese dip goes perfectly with our Soft Bavarian-Style Pretzels.

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 3 Tbsp. flour
  • 1/2 cup ale-style beer, such as New Glarus Spotted Cow
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp. dry mustard
  • 1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
  • 4 Tbsp. cream cheese
  • 2 cups shredded aged cheddar cheese (a four-year cheddar works well)
  • 1/2 tsp. savory
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • Paprika for garnish

Directions

  1. Melt butter over medium heat in a large saucepan until bubbly.
  2. Make a roux by whisking in flour until smooth and cook, whisking constantly, for one minute, or until it starts to thicken and bubble.
  3. Keep whisking and add beer and milk, then the garlic, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk for about 3 minutes until nicely thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in cheeses, savory, salt and pepper. Garnish with paprika and serve warm.
