This is a GREAT alternative to chips and dip. I take this everywhere and always get asked for the recipe. It is awesome! It is best served with mini-twist pretzels, but it's also great with veggies.

BEER CHEESE DIP FOR PRETZELS RECIPE | CHEFDEHOME.COM
Homemade pretzels are incomplete without a pub-style cheese dip to dunk into. This beer cheese dip is so creamy and delicious that it will make every bite of homemade soft pretzels even more delicious.
I know you saw a glimpse of this cheese dip yesterday when I shared Soft Pretzels recipe. I decided to share Cheese Dip in separate post because this dip can also be served without pretzels. You can serve it baked soft potato wedges, tortilla chips, or add it over a rustic spinach artichoke pizza.
So I thought, for the versatility of this cheesy dip.... it sure needed a separate spot in my recipe cabinet. What do you say?
That being said, beer Cheese Sauce or dip is a classic pub-style accompaniment to soft pretzels. (a must have)
What I like the best? How easy it is to make Beer Cheese Sauce. It may sound complicated but really it is 10 minute recipe. Super easy!
I told you yesterday, pretzels take 10 minutes to bake in oven.. remember? My friends, by the time pretzels are out of the oven, the bubbling hot cheese sauce is ready to serve.
Honestly, it can't get easier than this. You can make cheese sauce up-to a day in advance too. It will still need 1-2 minute to dilute before serving as it gets thicker as it sits in refrigerator. What I suggest? Make fresh, you guys! Just 10 minutes is all it needs.
Beer or No Beer?
Even though a 1.5 cup cheese sauce needs just 1/4 cup of beer.... The flavor of Beer Cheese dip depends a lot... I mean A LOT, on flavor/taste of beer. Sweeter (pale and lite) the beer, sweeter the dip.... darker the beer - more intense will be the cheese dip. In simple words, if you love aroma and bitterness of beer? Use a darker beer or if you prefer less intense then use pale ale or any lite beers.
If you don't like beer, this cheese dip tastes good even without it. If not adding beer, add some extra liquid (apple cider or root beer) to adjust the thickness of sauce. (check recipe notes below for more details.)
To me it is also a good use of leftover beer. If we have a few bottles left after a party/game day, I prefer to save them for making beer-based foods. This is a once-in-a-while thingy so I'm always excited to use the leftovers for my foodie adventures. Like last year I shared Beer Braised Chicken Sausage with you.... it is still one of family favorite and often demanded when I have few beer bottles to spare. That being said, you don't need a lot of beer to make this cheese sauce, a cup and half batch needs about 1/4 cup beer. I like to make bigger batch if friends coming over or prepare two recipes which uses whole bottle of beer and nothing goes waste.
I still have a bottle left, let'me try and share something with you. Look for it in coming days. Back to cheese dip after boozy beer discussion.
Honestly, this Cheese Dip is very forgiving. There is nothing in here which can't be swapped which makes it my special favorite as I can adapt it to my refrigerator's resources. You know what I mean ;) Other than beer, one most common swapped ingredient is : cheese. One month it is soft white cheddar and goat cheese and other time leftover sharp cheddar and cream cheese. Just throw in there and enjoy!
Most pub-style beer cheese dips only rely on flavor of cheese and beer. I go an extra-step and spice-up things a bit. A few simple pantry condiments can enhance the richness of creamy cheese such as my favorite are Worcestershire sauce, mustard, Tabasco, some fresh chopped parsley, chopped dill pickle or jalapeno, and lemon pepper. All of these are optional as cheese dip has bold beer flavor which is good on it's own... though I recommend trying Tabasco, pickle and parsley for hot spicy rich tangy cheese dip.. if you please. :)
Now, I can steal this line from Ree Redmond - thank you for listening. :)
