Equipment

  • Sauce Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons Flour
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • Cup Wheat Beer room temp
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • ½ teaspoons German Mustard
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ teaaspoons Paprika
  • 4 Ounces Cheddar or Gouda Shredded
  • 2 Ounces Emmentaler or Swiss Cheese Shredded
  • 2 Ounces Munster Shredded

Instructions
 

  • To make the roux melt the butter over medium heat in a sauce pan. Stir in the flour, and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes. This should result in a pale roux. If you find the roux is cooking too quickly you can reduce the heat a little bit. Don't let it burn.
  • Next, slowly stir in the milk, a little at a time, letting the mixture thicken before adding in more milk. Once all of the milk is added slowly stir in the room temperature beer. Stir to combine.
  • Next add in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and salt and stir until well incorporated.
  • Stir in the cheeses and stir until the sauce is smooth and all of the cheese is melted. You may refrigerate for up to 2 days at this point, eat as is, or proceed to smoking the beer cheese.
  • Smoke the beer cheese for 1 hour at 225 degrees, stirring about every 20 minutes if the oil is separating from the cheeses.
  • Serve warm and enjoy. Prost!
