Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 fluid ounces lager beer at room temperature, or more if needed
10 ounces freshly grated sharp Cheddar cheese
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dry mustard powder (such as Colman's®)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh chives

Steps:

To quickly remove any carbonation, pour the room temperature beer into a bowl, and whisk occasionally for 5 to 10 minutes.
Combine Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, Worcestershire, mustard powder, garlic powder, and onion powder in a food processor. Pulse until the ingredients are mixed.
Turn food processor to high and slowly pour in beer through the feed tube; blend until smooth. If mixture is too thick, add a bit more beer to reach your desired consistency.
Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped chives. Store in the fridge, tightly covered, for up to 10 days.
