Straight out of Cincinnati’s tailgate playbook, this beer cheese dip is the kind of recipe that empties the bowl before the second quarter.

Sharp cheddar and a hit of roquefort get whipped together with warm beer, garlic, Worcestershire, and just enough hot sauce to keep things interesting.

No stove required. Just an electric mixer and about 15 minutes.

Hollow out a round loaf of rye, pile the dip inside, and tear the scooped-out bread into chunks for dunking. It’s messy, it’s indulgent, and it disappears fast.

Chef Tips

  • Let the cheese and margarine soften fully at room temperature before mixing. Cold cheese will leave lumps.
  • Warm the beer slightly so it blends smoothly into the cheese. Pour it in gradually and stop when the consistency feels right for dipping.
  • Swap roquefort for any strong blue cheese you like. Gorgonzola works well here too.
  • Make it a day ahead. The flavors sharpen overnight in the fridge.
