Notes

Make sure to shred your own cheese and do not use pre-shredded cheese so that your beer cheese dip is smooth.

Any type of beer will work great in this recipe. A dark beer will give the cheese dip a more bitter flavor and a lighter beer will give the cheese dip a lighter flavor. You can use any type for this recipe.

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. The sauce will thicken as it’s refrigerate so you will have to add more milk to the cheese sauce when reheating to thin it back out.
