Bed of Nails Brown Beer Cheese Spread
The deep flavors of Bed of Nails brown beer pairs perfectly with cheddar cheese to make a cheese spread for crackers.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces sharp cheddar grated
- 8 ounces Neufchatel cheese softened
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 4 shakes Crystal or Tabasco sauce
- 6 ounces Bed of Nails brown ale
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Put the cheeses, lemon juice, garlic, half of the beer, and hot sauce in a food processor.
- Begin blending and immediately start pouring in the rest of the beer to keep the cheese mixture blending into a paste.
- Add a little more beer as needed to get the consistency you want, which should be a chicken-salad thick paste to an easy spreadable paste (like mayonnaise).
- Add salt and pepper to taste, or more hot sauce if desired.
- Spread on crackers, on bread, or on vegetable crudites.
