You need a rich, creamy, pub-style Beer Cheese Dip perfect for game days and parties. This quick recipe, perfected by Jacob, delivers that savory flavor fast. Serve it hot with your favorite pretzels or chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup beer (a lager or amber ale works well)
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in the flour and cook for one minute, creating a roux.
  3. Slowly pour in the beer while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly.
  4. Reduce the heat to low. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Stir continuously until both cheeses are completely melted and the dip is smooth.
  5. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately with soft pretzels or chips.

Notes

  • Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that prevent smooth melting.
  • Use a beer you enjoy drinking; its flavor transfers directly to the dip.
  • Keep the heat low when adding cheese to prevent the dip from becoming grainy.
  • This dip tastes best when served warm, straight from the stove.
