Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 14 ounces Irish cheddar
  • 4 ounces cream cheese

Liquids

  • 1/2 cup light Irish-style beer (Harp Lager)

Seasonings

  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Prep the Cheddar: Break the Irish cheddar into chunks and place them in a food processor. Pulse briefly to break down the cheddar into smaller pieces to ensure easier blending.
  2. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the cream cheese, light Irish-style beer, garlic clove, ground mustard, and paprika to the food processor with the cheddar chunks.
  3. Puree the Mixture: Puree all ingredients until completely smooth. Stop and scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate any cheese stuck to the edges, then puree again until you achieve a silky, smooth consistency.
  4. Serve: Transfer the pub cheese dip to a serving bowl and pair it with your choice of pita chips, bread, crackers, fresh vegetables, or apple slices for dipping.

Notes

  • Serving size is 1/8 cup (0.125 cup).
  • Best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; stir before serving.
  • Use a mild Irish-style beer like Harp Lager to keep the beer flavor subtle and balanced.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more paprika or mustard if desired.
  • This dip is ideal for parties, especially Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations.
