    You can pretty much use any kind of beer you want as long as you keep in mind that it will have an effect on the overall flavor of the cheese dip.

    🥃 Alcohol Warning

    Please take into consideration that some of the alcohol in this recipe may not completely burn off and the remains could be of significant concern to recovering alcoholics, parents, and others who have ethical or religious reasons for avoiding alcohol.
     

    For the cheese, I typically use a medium or sharp cheddar but you can use whatever you prefer. I want to taste the cheese so I like to use a sharp cheddar.
