I never thought about cheese dip until I researched a recipe for homemade soft pretzels for an Oktoberfest-themed party. Now we can’t imagine one without the other. Use your favorite bold beer in this recipe. We love it with IPA!

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons flour
½ Cup milk
¾ Cup IPA or other dark beer
1 teaspoon deli mustard
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
hot sauce to taste (I added a few dashes and didn't get a spicy flavor at all) 12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add the flour and stir constantly until thoroughly combined.
Slowly whisk in milk and beer. Increase heat to medium-high and bring mixture to a simmer - it will be foamy. Add the mustard, worcestershire, and hot sauce.
Cook 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens.
Add cheese into mixture one handful at a time, melting completely between each addition. Serve immediately. Dip will thicken as it cools.
