I’m not a native of Wisconsin but I have grown to love many things about the badger state.  Like any place, it’s the folks from here that make it unique.  Friendly, hard working, and Packer fans to the core, people from Wisconsin know how to work and they know how to enjoy life.  Food is big part of the state’s culture, and beer is integral to its heritage. This Beer Dip Recipe is all Wisconsin and all delicious.

To Make this Beer Dip Recipe, All You Need Is:

  • Cream Cheese

  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese

This beer dip recipe combines multiple factions of what makes Wisconsin special but you don’t have to live here to enjoy it.  In fact, you don’t even have to be a Packer fanatic to like this stuff.  It’s great on game day, for the fans of any team.

In all honestly, you don’t have to be a fan of any team, or even beer for that matter.  This beer dip recipe makes for a great party appetizer or work snack to keep everyone reaching for more.  It goes well with more than pretzels too.  Carrots, celery, cukes, and other vegetables taste great with this beer dip recipe.

NFL playoff games are coming up, the New Year holiday is only a few days away, and there are always card parties, baby and bridal showers, and just neighborhood and church get-togethers to think about.  If you have never tried a beer dip recipe, you don’t know what you’re missing.  Pop a top, then spread the love.

    Ooo my Hungry Hubby would be all over this the next time the football is on. Of course, I mean soccer, not football but game day food translates whatever you’re watching right?!

    Is it OK to substitute NA beer for this recipe. I’m in a 12 step program. It sounds very good, tho. I’d eat it with soft pretzels!
    Thanks.

    I made it hot-only because I couldn’t remember my password to sign in for the recipe, and I was in a time crunch. Had the ingredients right! It was DELICIOUS hot and melty, too! Thanks for a great recipe! 😉

    I haven’t had this dish in ages! I lived in Milwaukee a long time ago, and had this all the time. And made it from time to time after I moved away. I gotta have this again – thanks for reviving the memory. And Happy New Year!
