Method
 

How to Make Homemade Pub Cheese Spread
  1. Whisk the beer for 5-10 minutes to reduce carbonation, which prevents any fizz in your pub cheese and helps achieve that creamy texture.
  2. In a food processor, combine the freshly grated mild cheddar and sharp cheddar along with the minced garlic; pulse until crumbly.
  3. Add Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper; blend until well combined.
  4. While processing, gradually stream in the beer mixture; blend until the mix is smooth and mousse-like, about 5 minutes.
  5. Scoop the pub cheese into a bowl, garnish with snipped chives, and serve alongside your favorite snacks.
