First, here's what you need:

• 2 cups of cheese, shredded (I used two different types of Cheddar. Half Sharp Cheddar and Trader Joes Unexpected Cheddar)

Method:

1. Add cream cheese into your pot and let it melt.
2. Add in beer slowly while stirring to make sure it's relatively smooth.
3. Add in all three seasonings and stir to combine.
4. In 3-4 batches, add in cheese and make sure it melts completely before adding in more. If using Pre-shredded cheese (which I don't recommend, but it's what I did in the video. It's fine, just go slow)
5. Serve with Baguette or pretzels.
