Whip up this incredibly easy, creamy, pub-style Beer Cheese Dip in just 15 minutes. This recipe delivers that rich, savory flavor everyone loves, perfect for your next game day or party. You will impress your guests with this dip served alongside soft pretzels or chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk works best)
  • 1/2 cup beer (a lager or pale ale works well)
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in the flour to create a smooth roux. Cook for one minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Slowly whisk in the milk until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the beer until fully combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and cubed cream cheese in batches, stirring until completely melted and smooth before adding more. Do not let the mixture boil.
  6. Stir in the salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper, if using.
  7. Remove from heat and serve immediately while warm and creamy.

Notes

  • Shred your own cheese; pre-shredded cheese contains additives that prevent smooth melting.
  • Use a beer you enjoy drinking; its flavor will come through in the dip.
  • If the dip gets too thick while serving, whisk in a tablespoon of milk or beer to reach your desired consistency.
