Method

  1. In a bowl, pour beer and whisk it until the carbonation is gone, approximately for 30 seconds. Set it aside.

  2. In the work bowl of a food processor, combine shredded cheese, garlic, dry mustard powder, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, salt, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and flat beer.

  3. Process the mixture in the food processor until it becomes smooth and creamy. This should take around 2 minutes, pulsing a few times, scraping the sides, and blending.

  4. Taste the cheese spread and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you need to add more seasoning, pulse the mixture a few times to mix it well.

  5. Transfer the cheese spread to a separate bowl and sprinkle it with a pinch of cayenne pepper.

  6. For the best flavor, refrigerate the spread overnight to allow the flavors to blend. However, if needed, it can be served right away.
