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.
Notes
Variation: Swap the beer for a splash of brandy or add 1–2 tsp prepared horseradish for a zippy kick. For a softer dip, whisk in an extra spoonful of beer right before serving. Store refrigerated up to 5 days; let stand 10 minutes to soften before spreading.This recipe is an original creation inspired by classic Wisconsin Supper Club Cheese Spread Recipe flavors.
