I recently found some bombers of Country Boy Brewing‘s Nacho Bait Habanero Blonde Ale.  I tried it, and naturally, loved it.  But as I was drinking it, the thought kept running through my head: “This would make amazing beer cheese.”  So I tried it, and I was right.

Want to make a batch for yourself?

What you’ll need:

• 1 LB shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
• 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Coleman’s Mustard Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2-1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper, depending on heat preference
• Salt
• Hot Sauce (I used Sriracha, any will work)
• 1-2 Teaspoons Worchestershire Sauce
• Country Boys Brewing Nacho Bait Habanero Blonde Ale (8-10 ounces ).
• Food Processor

How to make it:

1. Whisk 8-10 ounces of beer in a separate container until it loses some or most of its carbonation (about a minute)
2. Add the cheese, garlic, worchestershire, salt, pepper, cayenne, mustard to a food processor and blend until smooth.
3. Add the beer and continue to mix until it’s all smooth, not watery.
4. Begin drinking remaining beer.
5. Add hot sauce to taste.  (the beer has a slow heat, so don’t over do it)
6. Cover the beer cheese and put it in the refrigerator overnight.
7. Continue drinking beer.
