I like to serve this zesty cheese spread with crackers and veggie dippers. It's great to take along to picnics.

Wow! I don't think the other reviewer liked this. We thought it was good overall. I think the mustard comes through too strong. I don't know why it's called "beer" cheese since there is so little beer in the recipe.

This was the worst cheese spread I have ever had! I followed the recipe as is and it tasted awful!
