My entire family loves this cheese dip. I often get requests to bring it to gatherings with friends. Chopped scallions make a pretty garnish. —Julie Koch, Delaware, Ohio

This was deeelicious! I added a little minced garlic and fried my own bacon. The beer really gives it a wonderful flavor. Will definitely make again.

Very easy to make, good flavor, went over really well at Super Bowl party - especially with the guys who liked the "beer" appeal!

I think this is the recipe that was such a hit when I made it before. I usually can't stand fake cheese, but in this recipe, it works. My only complaint is that the jarred cheese called for is a tad bit pricey, so I can't make it very often. Still, I would definitely make it again!

Reviews are written after the recipe has been tested. If a category is noted, the recipe should conform to that category and should be considered when reviewing. This recipe says it is "Quick" and yes it is that. It is also very flavorful. I loved it and will make it again when we have Football Parties

People it isn't like you are going to pick up the bread bowl and drink the beer cheese! Get a life! I put cut off the top of the bread to make a bowl and pull out some from the bottome - but cutting up another loaf of bread gives enough cubes to use for a party ! I never bring any of this home - goes like crazy at super bowl parties!

Loved this ..easy, quick. Hockymom8 and berrydenise, what kind of recipe did you think this was when you read the name of it?? A fruit cup?? Hate reviews written by the self-righteous

Love the recipe and its adaptability! For nojoro if you're worried about the alcohol in the beer use non-alcoholic beer. The beer is integral to the flavour of the recipe.

I have been making this recipe for over 20 yrs.! I don't microwave anything. Have cream cheese at room temp, 1 jar of cheese whiz and minced garlic. I always use low fat cream cheese. Combine cream cheese, cheese and garlic using electric mixer. The beer is to thin it out. I don't measure the beer, just add to the consistency I want. Great for parties. Fun to use another loaf of different bread to cube.

We love beer cheese soups, dips and this one is just as delicious. For those that want to argue on nutrition, find appropriate recipes for your desired nutritional benefits or health issues. As far as the recipe and taste, for those that are interested in the actual quality of this recipe, it was great. I did add some chopped green onion and I actually used a Hawaiian bread bowl....
