Taste: This cheese dip has a daring taste—the beer might be mild or darkish which is able to change the flavour of the dip.
Problem: It’s straightforward to organize.
Ingredient Tip: Medium or gentle cheese will not be advisable, it doesn’t have sufficient taste for this dip.
Prep notice: Shredding your personal cheese will make the smoothest dip.
Serving suggestion: Pair with heat pretzels, tortilla chips, or veggies like carrot sticks.

Ingredient Suggestions for Beer Cheese Dip

Cheese: Use a mix of sharp cheddar cheese and gruyere. Whereas you should use any cheese, a light cheese may have a milder taste (and gained’t pair properly with a daring darkish beer). I extremely advocate sharp cheddar.

For the smoothest sauce, shred cheese from a block for this recipe. Pre-shredded cheeses will style nice, however the components that preserve them from sticking within the bag imply they don’t soften as properly.

Beer: Use the beer you want finest!

Darkish Beer, like stout or malt, will produce a deep, barely bitter taste. Nice for serving together with your favourite bread.
Gentle Beers like ales, pilsners, and IPAs will give a lighter taste (that is my choice). These pair properly with greens.
Non-alcoholic beer works properly on this recipe, too, and is nice served with any dipper.

Holly’s Favourite Dippers!

I typically make beer cheese dip for pretzels and serve it heat like a cheese fondue. However the dipper potentialities are infinite!

Bread: soft pretzel bites or pretzel sticks, tortilla chips, chunks of French or sourdough bread, soft breadsticks, and garlic crostini rounds are a few of my favorites.
Veggies: celery sticks, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, carrots, zucchini rounds, bell pepper strips, and complete (cooked) child pink potatoes.
Fruits: sliced inexperienced apples, pears, and grapes give it the proper steadiness with sweetness.

Storing Leftovers

As with most recipes containing dairy, beer cheese dip doesn’t freeze properly. Retailer leftovers in an hermetic container within the fridge for as much as 5 days.
