The Best Beer Cheese Dip
How is it we are already talking about Super Bowl? I feel like I just finished taking down Christmas. Nonetheless, one of the great snack food days of the year is upon us — tell me I’m not the only one more excited about the food and commercials than the game – and it’s time to start a game day party plan.
We are going to need football party ideas and football party food! This Pub-Style Beer Cheese Dip is the perfect appetizer recipe for Super Bowl, March Madness, and any other occasion….. just begging to be devoured with friends and family!
We LOVE CHEESE at our house. A lot. Too much, maybe. I’ve shared my favorite grilled cheese, over the top Buffalo Chicken Mac ‘n Cheese, I’ve even melted it over grapes when I made Grilled Grape Brie and Arugula Flatbread Pizza.
It might be a problem, but as far as problems go….it’s one I don’t mind having. 😉 It usually leads to delicious food.
Last week I was craving homemade pretzel bites when Allison brought some home from the mall. I knew I needed to whip up a batch of beer cheese dip – it’s like the little black dress of recipes, it goes with everything.
What Kind of Beer to Use in Beer Cheese Dip:
There’s one important thing to note about Beer Cheese Dip – and this might be obvious, but I’m going to say it anyway…… the flavor of Beer Cheese dip depends a LOT on the type/flavor of beer you choose.
If you want subtle beer flavor use a pale or lite beer for a sweeter dip.
For more intense flavor, use darker ale where you will enjoy the robust and bitterness of the beer.
Either way, you go, choose a beer that lights up your taste buds and goes down so smoothly. If you want to skip the beer completely, just replace it with apple cider.
You can serve beer cheese dip cold or warm with homemade soft pretzel bites, smeared on beer cheese bread or baguette, your favorite crackers, or even broccoli and cauliflower florets, and of course, your favorite beer! You will be the hit of the party, trust me!
If you want to serve this dip warm, simply whisk constantly in a small saucepan over low heat, or microwave on high in 1-minute intervals, stirring between sessions until cheese dip is warm and heated through. Enjoy!

I do believe I see a Fat Tire in the background (locally made to us)! This sounds delish. I went out with some friends earlier this year and the restaurant served something similar made with a local beer. Being gluten-free I could not try it but everyone love it! Perfect for the Super Bowl.
Mmmmm this sounds (and looks) amazing!
This looks delicious! The next time we have guests over, this will definitely be on the menu!
I doubled the recipe as I am making one for a party at work tomorrow- and I am so glad I did! This is the best beer dip I have ever made/had! I used fresh pressed garlic, dark lager beer and omitted the kosher salt – enough salt with the aged cheese and Worcester sauce. Going to serve with pretzel nuggets, crackers and carrots.
I made this delicious dip for St. Patricks Day. My daughter-in-law wants jalapeño poppers with this beer cheese dip inside wrapped in bacon. It’s an amazing idea don’t you think? They are about to go into the oven. I’m sure they will be a hit at her birthday dinner tonight. Our family will love them.
sounds fabulous!!
We’re not going to discuss what percentage of this I ate by myself. We just plain aren’t.
The best! Can’t wait to make it again <3
This was scrumptious! Thanks for the great recipe!
This is a must have for game day parties! So easy and delicious.
I can’t wait to try making this, it looks so yummy!
Such an easy and delicious recipe! I could eat the whole thing!
Could this be made in a crockpot?
My boys especially love this recipe. Thanks for sharing it! Tastes just like at the local pub.
I REALLY did not want to whip out the food processor for this dip, but it was worth it. Really great flavor, and so smooth because of the processor. Love it.
