Creamy Beer Cheese Sauce

Lately, I've had an obsession with cheese.  Beer cheese to be specific.  Nearly all our favorite restaurants have an appetizer or two on the menu that come with beer cheese and OMG I can't get enough.  I've been on a mission to create a recipe that's just as delicious as the restaurant's version, if not better.  DONE!

My favorite part about this recipe is how adaptive it is.  Want a thicker sauce, more of a dip consistency?  Simmer it longer or add a bit less liquid.  Want it spicier?  Add more cayenne, or some jalapeno.  Play around with the cheese used, use a different beer, the possibilities are endless!

WHAT TO SERVE WITH BEER CHEESE?

There are so many ideas, it's hard to narrow them down!

So far I've tried everything pigs in a blanket, homemade soft pretzel sticks, and tortilla chips.

But I can't wait to try french fries, fried pickles, chicken tenders, and as a topper for a juicy burger!

CAN BEER CHEESE SAUCE BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME?

Sure can!  I personally think it tastes best when made fresh, but it can be done ahead of time.  Just make sure you heat it up slowly and stir it often, otherwise it can become grainy and possibly separate.

WHAT KIND OF BEER SHOULD YOU USE FOR BEER CHEESE?

You can use whichever beer you like to drink.  Make sure it's a flavor you like, as it will be prevalent in the sauce.  I love to use a lager-style beer, as it has a robust, yet light taste.

PRO TIPS FOR MAKING BEER CHEESE SAUCE:

  1. Don't let the small amount of beer fool you, it still has plenty of beer flavor.
  2. Use a beer that you love the taste of, since it will be intensified in the sauce.
  3. For the best results, shred your own cheese.  Pre-shredded cheese is coated in a substance to prevent it from clumping in the bag, which can make it not melt as smoothly in a sauce.
  4. Season and taste as you go.  I've given you my base seasoning in the recipe, but feel free to add, subtract, or swap out for any seasonings you'd like.
