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

My family and friends love this recipe, but if you don't love blue cheese you will not like it at all! I always get asked for the recipe. My son in law will put a little out and hide the rest in the refrigerator for himself to eat later.

The blue cheese kills it. Just kills it. Blech.

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!
