Notes
- Store leftovers of this beer cheese recipe in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to a week! You can freeze this if you'd like, but it may have a more grainy texture after it's thawed. Regardless, if you'd like to freeze it transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- To reheat, pour leftover dip into a saucepan and warm on low-medium heat, stirring constantly, until warmed through.
