Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Ale (your choice of beer)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Grate the sharp cheddar cheese into a large mixing bowl.
Add the cream cheese and unsalted butter to the mixing bowl. Allow these ingredients to reach room temperature for easier blending.
Pour the ale into the bowl, ensuring not to add too much to maintain the correct consistency.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Using a hand mixer or food processor, blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl periodically to ensure even mixing.
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.
Transfer the spread to a serving dish and cover. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or slightly softened with pretzels, crackers, bread, or vegetables.
