This beer cheese dip pairs perfectly with Bavarian-style pretzels and with bratwurst. Alternatively, use it in mac & cheese, smear on slider buns as a topping, or try making a grilled cheese sandwich with it.

Cook’s Note

I used a German Dunkel, a dark lager beer. Others to try include Shiner Bock, and Yuengling Black & Tan. The flavor will change based on the beer you choose.
Crushed Aleppo pepper is available online; I bought mine from Savory Spice Shop. Ancho chile powder is a good substitute.
