I came across this recipe on the All Recipes site. And, due credit goes to Chef John, who calls it unique. I live in Kentucky, but I have never had it. I'm not really a beer person, but my husband is, so I guess I should make it for him. It is suggested that you refrigerate overnight, for the best flavor.

How To Make kentucky beer cheese spread

1
Pour beer into a bowl, and whisk, until beer loses its carbonation, about 30 seconds. Set aside.

2
Place shredded cheese into the work bowl of a food processor; add garlic, and next 4 dry ingredients. Also, add hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and flat beer.
3
Process, until smooth and creamy, pulsing a few times, scraping the sides, and blending for about 2 total minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. If adding more seasoning, pulse a couple of times, to mix.
4
Transfer cheese spread to a bowl, and sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne. Spread tastes best, if refrigerated overnight, to blend flavors, but can be used right away, if needed.
