Ingredients
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beer (lager or ale works best)

- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until slightly golden.
- Gradually pour in the beer, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
- Add the milk and continue to stir until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the shredded cheeses until fully melted.
- Mix in Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Stir until the dip is smooth and creamy.

- Use a full-flavored beer for a stronger taste or a lighter beer for a milder flavor.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more milk for a thinner consistency.
- For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
