Other tips:
  • Any non-fruity beer works well. Lighter beers will give a lighter taste.
  • You can use a food processor for a smoother consistency.
  • Use spicy mustard if you want to add a kick.
  • Add more beer if you want your spread to be more "dippable".
  • Substitute any hard cheese you have on hand for the cheddar.
  • Freshly grated cheese gives the best flavor and texture.
