ZESTY PUB CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor add the shredded cheddar, cream cheese, spreadable cheese (or substitute) and roughly chopped garlic clove. Process until combined.
• Add all the other ingredients except for the beer, salt and chives. Process and while processing slowly add the beer while monitoring the consistency (do not add it all if the dip is becoming runny).
• Transfer to a mixing bowl and taste. Adjust seasonings as needed and add salt as needed. Fold in the chives, cover and refrigerate.
• Serve garnished with a pinch of paprika and chives and accompanied by crackers, bread sticks and/or veggie sticks.

HOMEMADE PUB CHEESE

Steps:

• To quickly remove any carbonation, pour the room temperature beer into a bowl, and whisk occasionally for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Combine Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, Worcestershire, mustard powder, garlic powder, and onion powder in a food processor. Pulse until the ingredients are mixed.
• Turn food processor to high and slowly pour in beer through the feed tube; blend until smooth. If mixture is too thick, add a bit more beer to reach your desired consistency.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped chives. Store in the fridge, tightly covered, for up to 10 days.
