Made with simple ingredients, this smooth and creamy Beer Cheese Dip is ready in 20 minutes. Perfect for dipping, spreading, and sharing.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 3 cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 3 Tbsp flour
  • 12 oz of your favorite beer (we used IPA)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 6 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic (chopped)
  • 2 tsp dark paprika

Instructions

  1. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter then add the flour and whisk and cook for 1 minute.
  2. Add bottle of beer and whisk until smooth.
  3. Add cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic and paprika and continue to whisk until all cheese has melted and product is smooth (about 5 minutes).

Notes

  • Beer:  we use IPA, but it's bitter for some. For a more subtle flavor, use a lager.
  • Use it as a sauce: there's no milk or cream in this recipe, so it's thick and perfect for dipping.
