• 0.25 cups Beer (lager or pale ale)
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper

Directions

Step 1

Shred the sharp cheddar cheese into small pieces using a box grater or food processor. Allow the cheese and cream cheese to come to room temperature for easier blending.

In a food processor, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and beer. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 3

Add the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the mixture in the food processor.

Step 4

Blend again until all the spices are evenly incorporated, and the texture is smooth and spreadable. Adjust seasoning to taste, if desired.

Step 5

Transfer the cheese spread to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Serve chilled or at room temperature with your choice of crackers, pretzels, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
