Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the best beer for beer cheese sauce? Can use any kind of beer you prefer.
  • Use a Pale Ale or Light beer for a subtle beer flavor.
  • Use a Darker Beer or Hoppy IPA for bold flavors.
  • I use Truck Stop Honey Brown Ale.
• Can substitute dijon mustard for dry mustard in the sauce.
• Substitute cayenne pepper for paprika to give the dip a little kick.
• Use gluten-free beer and cornstarch for a gluten-free dip!

• Keep the dip warm in a small slow cooker for parties.
• Does Beer Cheese Sauce have alcohol in it? Yes. The recipe does use actual beer. Feel free to use a non-alcoholic beer if you want an alcohol-free dip.
