If you’ve never tried a beer cheese dip, you’re missing it! The goodness of the warm, melted cheese with a light, delicious “beer” (can be made more “hoppy” with a variety of beer varieties) and a Little Cayenne Kick. Served with warm dough bowls, tortilla potato chips and crispy vegetables, this makes a great game day snack or party appetizer!
This velvety, cheesy beer cheese dip is a classic of game day (I would like to have match day in the UK as they do in the US!!). The salty, delicious, cheesy flavour with just a hint of Cayenne is easy to make and is always a show stopper on the buffet table.
Whether there’s a light rain on baked tortilla chips, which are used as dough balls, fried pickles, or dip in fried jalapenos, it’s the ultimate no-fass party dip! Furthermore, if you have a larger gathering, you can refrigerate it, which allows you to proceed with it in a larger batch.

Beer: I use Hawkstone or Devon Rock Lager. Both are similar to light IPA (Indian Pale Ale).
If you don’t like the hoppy or malt flavors, go with the regular lager.
If you’re more hoppy, use your favorite robust IPA.
A more robust beer/lager/ale brings a stronger, more complicated flavour with a beer cheese dip. I think light IPA style lagers are a happy medium.
How to make:
***A complete recipe with detailed instructions on the recipe card at the end of this post***
First, melt the butter in a pot and whisk with flour and mustard. Then slowly pour the milk in the milk, constantly stirring with a whisk, and continue to stir, then heat up until thickened. Once thickened, stir in the beer, Worcestershire sauce and seasonings and stir to heat. Finally, stir the cheese until it’s completely melted and combined and you’re done!
