Ok, I will start off by saying I am not a beer drinker. I personally prefer a glass of wine every now and then when company comes over BUT when used in this beer cheese dip recipe. This post brought to you by The Chinet® brand. (originally published 11/16, affiliate links present)
Cold Beer Cheese Dip
I seriously can’t keep my hands off of it! Pair it with some pretzels, chips, or a loaf of the best beer bread recipe. Believe me it won’t last long. It is amazing!! Let me show you how to make it…it’s super easy!
I’m a sucker for dips. Whether we are having people over for a barbecue, or it is a holiday I LOVE snacking. Dips make snacks just that much better.
I’ve made beer bread many times with different dips. This time when I was making jalapeno poppers I thought some of the ingredients could be made into a dip. It turned out to be really good!
Beer Cheddar Cheese Dip
While you’re out gathering the ingredients you need be sure to grab Chinet plates and disposable Chip & Dip Party Trays! Seriously, anything that makes cleanup easier for me I am ALL about.
You can throw your beer cheese dip in the center once you’re done. Add pretzels and chips around it and it is definitely be everyone’s favorite snack before the meal arrives. 😉
I have made a version without the beer and realized that it wasn’t nearly as good. There is very little in it so you really don’t have to worry about the kids taking a small bite. Just that 1/4 of a cup brings so much flavor to this creamy cream cheese based dip.
Beer cheese dip for pretzels
The base is basically beer, cheddar cheese and cream cheese which in itself is pretty amazing. Add some diced jalapenos and WOW. You can pair it with all sorts of things but soft pretzels are the best.
If you want a mild heat dice 1/2. If you’re into more of a “fiery” flavor just dice the whole thing (after you remove all the seeds). I like diced chiles in a can and those aren’t spicy but really bring a wonderful flavor to it. You could try those too, or use both!
- Beer
- Cream cheese
- Mayonnaise
- Cheddar cheese
- Diced jalapeno and/or chiles
If you love this, try our Instant Pot beer cheese soup too. Now that can be a complete meal and not just something you’d pair next to your charcuterie plate for a party.

Cold Beer Cheese Dip Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pkg cream cheese room temp.
- 1 c cheddar cheese grated – mild or sharp
- 1/4 c beer
- 1 tbsp jalapenos diced, or in can with juice is best
- 1/4 c mayonnaise
Instructions
- Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix really well. It is easier if you leave the cream cheese on the counter so it gets softer and once all items are mixed well put into a container
- When you get the consistency you want, wrap bowl with saran wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour or so to intensify flavors, or serve immediately if you desire.
