Looking For A Good Party Dip?
Well, we’ve got you covered. We love dips here at Bubba Pie and I’d say we are somewhat of an expert at them. We’ve made a TON of dips in the past, each one just as good as the next! Some of our favorites have been:
- 4 INGREDIENT FIESTA CORN DIP

We also consider ourselves beer connoisseurs as well. On my other website, I’ve actually ranked all the best beers of my home state that I drank last year. And this year, I’m drinking at least one beer from each state. So… yeah. I like beer! This is why I was astonished when I realized that I hadn’t made a Beer Cheese Dip! This awesome Pub Style version of that classic cheese dip is rich, smooth and creamy in all the right ways!
Beer Cheese Dip
You know, that cheesy, yellow sauce that makes your soft pretzel even more addicting than it already is. And while, at first glance, this ingredient list looks lengthy, I’d be willing to bet you have just about all of these ingredients in your kitchen right now!
And if you don’t, this is one of those recipes that you could certainly tweak to your own specifications! Ready to get started? Here is what you’ll need!
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup milk
- 2/3 cup beer
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup white cheddar cheese
- ½ cup Monterrey jack cheese
What Type Of Beer Should I Use In Beer Cheese Dip?
Either a nice, light and fresh lager works great, or a darker, stouter beer would work as well. Both will give your final product a different taste. The lager will keep the taste fresher and lighter, while the darker beers will be heavier. I’d stay away from anything fruity. Even some belgian beers can be a bit fruity so I wouldn’t try those either.
What To Dip In Beer Cheese Dip
Soft pretzels (or pretzel bites) are my favorite thing to dip into beer cheese. But you can also dip tortilla chips, carrots, celery, apples, cauliflower or some nice, crusty bread.
I hope you enjoy this recipe for Beer Cheese Dip. Have fun and happy dipping!
