  5. Add shredded cheese in 2 additions, whisking after each addition until the cheese is melted.

Notes

  • What kind of cheese to use: use any melting cheese that you like. Other options: you can use just sharp cheddar, just Gruyere cheese (amazing), Gruyere and smoked gouda, cheddar and smoked gouda. For the best flavor purchase a block of cheese and grate it yourself! Pre-grated cheese contains substances that prevent it from clumping in the bag - such cheese may be harder to melt and just doesn't taste as good.
  • The best beer for beer cheese dip: a pale ale or lager beer (just use a beer that you like to drink). Non-alcoholic beer can also be used! Storing and freezing instructions can be found in the post.
  • If your cheese sauce is grainy or split just mix it in a blender (or use a hand/immersion blender).
  • Calories: 1 serving (1/8 of the recipe). This is only an estimate!
