Equipment

Ingredients

4 ounces cream cheese softened
16 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
3/4 cup 6 ounces beer
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons paprika
2 dashes hot sauce optional

Instructions

Combine the cream cheese and shredded cheese in a bowl with a hand mixer or spatula.
Add in the horseradish, mustard, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to combine.
Add in the Worcestershire sauce and the beer. Stir to combine.
Serve immediately or store in the fridge until ready to use.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is close to room temperature or softened a bit or it will not mix well with the other ingredients.

Use your favorite ale or brew. I like a hoppy lager beer for this recipe but a stout will work too!

If you want to spice it up a bit, try adding some jalapeno cheese or pepper jack.

I like to use prepared horseradish but if you prefer to use a horseradish sauce or leave it out all together, that's great too.

If you like a stout in your spread, try using sharp cheddar instead of mild.

Want more spices? Add some garlic powder and some cayenne pepper!

Chilly outside? Serve warm!

Want smoother spreadable cheese? Whip it up in the food processor!
