Grate the cheddar and let the cream cheese and butter soften at room temperature.
Beat cream cheese and butter in a bowl until smooth and fluffy.
Mix in Worcestershire, Dijon, grated onion, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
Fold in the shredded cheddar. Drizzle in the beer, a little at a time, until spreadable.
Cover and chill 30 minutes. Sprinkle with chives and serve with crackers or rye toasts.
