German Beer Cheese Spread

sharp cheddar cheese,

Worcestershire sauce

mustard

garlic clove, minced

salt

pepper

German beer beer

Assorted crackers or vegetables

I made this but I changed a lot (because I thought I had cheddar and I didn't oops!). I used Kerrygold Dubliner Cheese (can get it at Costco) but I only had 11oz of that. So I added 6 oz of cream cheese. I didn't add the garlic because I was worried it would be a really strong taste with a delicate cheese. I also used Miller Lite because I was worried the German beer I bought would overpower the cheese. We put it on Ritz crackers and my husband and I couldn't stop eating it! I will for sure in the future make it way it was written because I didn't mean to change it but it was for sure great inspiration for my crazy recipe!

This is delicious!!! I followed instructions exactly. I used sharp cheddar and good old Budweiser - because I like it! I used only an eighth of a teaspoon of salt because I use very fine sea salt. I scraped down the sides of the food processor as needed. I just made it and tasted for seasoning, and it is perfect! Mine came out light and fluffy, not chunky or grainy at all. When it was mostly combined and I no longer needed to scrape it down, I actually set a timer for 1 minute and processed on high speed. Thank you for this awesome recipe!

I absolutely love this!!!!  I followed the recipe exactly, used Octoberfest beer, and it is awesome.  I made it and let it flavor overnight then took it to a party and everyone wanted the recipe.....  Thanks for sharing!!!

The German recipes I've seen in actual German cookbooks call for camembert, but I would agree that a really ripe brie would work.  I'm using Laughing Cow Swiss (triangles) instead of cream cheese.  I like to serve it with homemade German soft pretzels.  No cheddar!

This dip is very good! I used a lighter beer because I don't care for dark beer.

This cheese dip has great flavor. Like one other reviewer, I wasn't crazy about the texture of the dip prepared according to the recipe. I decided to heat it in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring often.  This gave me a warm, melty cheese dip that we used for soft pretzels and cooked kielbasa. It was great! Also, I used a lighter, lager-style beer instead of a dark German brew.

Fantastic and easy dip.  I made this yesterday for Father's day and it was a huge hit.  I've tried it with light and dark beer and the dark beer tends to overpower it a little.

Really like this dip...have made it several times.  However, the texture is very grainy.  Its not the coarse mustard its the consistency of the cheese itself.  I personally don't care but some others seem to have a textural issue.  Anyone have any thoughts?

Good stuff! My German husband approved. Used Hefeweizin- just right beer for it I think. Texture is ok for us.

This was fun, easy and different from my usual.  Yum!

We made this for our Oktoberfest style dinner and it was a big hit. Served it with bread pretzels and small rye bread slices. It does make a lot--next time I will probably make a half batch.

It doesn't matter that cheddar isn't a German cheese...this is just GOOD! I also used a lighter beer as the dark ones are so strong...I like to cook with them. Since this is not a cooking recipe, I opted for the lighter beer. Still delicious!!

have made several times..i think it's the reason some people insist i come to their gatherings.....lol...  ..so far, the best has been a mix of an extra sharp, and a sharp cheese.  usually better made a day ahead.    am going to get crazy and see how it turns out with gouda....wish me luck!

This is a quick and easy dip.  It is always a hit with the adults.  My boys aren't huge fans when I use dark German beers.

Outstanding flavor, easy to whip up.  My 15 year old grandson came by with a bunch of his friends to play ping pong and pool after school yesterday, remembered seeing this recipe In the Sept. Oct. issue of ToH, and luckily had all the ingredients.  I don't have a food processor so I used finely shredded cheddar, instead.. results were a bit lumpy, but that was acceptable.  This volunteer field editor rates this recipe five stars.

Made this for a party this weekend. I used Beck's beer and Boetje's mustard. It was easy to  make and it went over well. It makes a lot so you may want to 1/2 the recipe for a smaller crowd. We had quite a bit left over and were at a party of 10 - 12 where there weren't a lot of other appetizers.
