How To Make Beer Cheese Dip

2. Once the mixture starts to heat up add the beer and cornstarch mixture, whisking them to combine.
3. Gradually add the remaining cheese, whisking frequently. Cook until the sauce starts to thicken.
4. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
5. Keep warm stirring frequently until ready to serve.
6. Garnish with bacon crumbles and green onions – or anything your heart desires.

Dietary notes:

If you have a specific dietary need, this is one of the more difficult recipes when it comes to making substitutions. Everything needs to be perfect to get the consistency and flavor right. I will say I have heard using vegan cheese and/or non-alcoholic beer works decently in this beer cheese recipe, though I haven’t tried them myself, so let me know how they work for you! Otherwise, if you need a specific item removed or replaced, I would just search for a special recipe rather than go with this one.

FAQs About Our Beer Cheese Dip

Do you have questions about this beer cheese dip? Here are some answers! If I don’t answer them in this section, be sure to leave me a comment.

• Does this cheese dip keep in the fridge?

Yes, it does! Up to a week. Make it in advance for your Sunday night football parties if you need to! When you have to warm it up again, you can do so in the microwave – just reheat it in 30-second intervals, stirring between. Yum!

• Can you eat this dip cold?

It’s not bad cold! I prefer it warm, though.

• Can you keep it warm in a slow cooker for parties?

Yes! In fact, I recommend it.

• What kind of snacks should I serve with this dip?

Oh, goodness … the sky is truly the limit here. Pretzels are, in my opinion, the best! You can find my pretzel bite recipe here. Broccoli and cauliflower are good too, as well as crackers, breadsticks, and slices of baguette. I’ve also heard of people using this dip for cheeseburgers, scallop potatoes, apple slices, and steak pieces. I’m sure when you taste it, you’ll know exactly what you want with this dip.

• What beer is best for this dip?

Honestly, the only recommendation I have is to use a beer you really enjoy! A lot of people use Guinness or Boston Lager, but it’s up to you. Just remember that the flavor of this cheese dip will depend on what beer you use. A pale or lite beer generally makes a sweeter dip, and darker beer makes a really intense, robust flavor. See what you like!
