Ingredients
- 1 cup beer
- 8 oz. cream cheese cut into cubes
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Soft pretzels to serve
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the beer to a simmer.
- Once simmering, add cream cheese cubes and lower the heat. Stir until melted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Slowly add in shredded cheese by the handful. Stir until melted.
- Serve warm with soft pretzels.
Notes
- This Beer Cheese Dip recipe was originally shared by The Culinary Compass and was republished here with permission as a part of the Freaky Friday Collaboration.
- Any light beer should work in this recipe! The flavor of the beer will come through the flavor of the sauce, so take that into consideration. Sam used Bell's Two Hearted Ale while I used Oak Highlands Brewery DFDub, which is a dark-style lager.
- We simmer the beer first to cook off some of the alcohol. This also helps the cream cheese melt more easily.
- Don’t add the shredded cheese all at once—but a handful at a time. This will ensure the sauce doesn’t get clumpy.
- Add different flavors by using a different type of beer. Make sure it’s a beer you like, though.
- You can try different cheeses, too, to add different flavors. Perhaps you want to go in a TexMex direction and add shredded Mexican blend cheese.
- Store leftover Pretzel Cheese Dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. To reheat, warm in the slow cooker or zap in the microwave. Be prepared to add a little extra beer or a bit of milk to make it creamier if it’s still pretty thick.
