Beer Cheese dates back to the 1940's in Clark Co. when it is believed to first be made by Joe Allman for his cousin, John Allman's, restaurants on the Kentucky River. Since then people have fallen for this delicious spread that goes great on carrots, celery, crackers, pretzels, potato chips or anything you want! I grew up with beer cheese and didn't realize it was exclusive to Kentucky until we moved to South Carolina. I now make it for all our Carolina friends every Christmas.

1
Pour beer into a glass or bowl and let it go flat.
2
Combine remaining ingredients in food processor and PULSE until slightly blended.
3
Then turn processor ON and slowly pour in beer until you get desired consistency. Mixture should be somewhat soft, but will harden in refrigerator.
