beer cheese dip (or spread)
I first made this yummy beer cheese dip many years back and it’s a family favorite! I think I originally found the recipe online but played with the ingredients, as usual. But it’s an easy recipe to adjust for your family’s tastes. We don’t like spicy, but it would be easy to adjust by adding some finely chopped jalapeño or chipotle pepper for a little heat.
