Last weekend a buddy came by the house with a big tub of homemade beer cheese. He said that he knows I am originally from the upper Midwest and thought I may appreciate it. It has been in the fridge until tonight because I didn't have pretzels. I now have pretzels and I'm eating it like an Ethiopian after Lent! For those of you who know of what I speak, post up your recipes or tell your tales. It's manna from heaven!
I don't eat gluten, and when people ask me if I miss bread, I say no. I miss beer cheese soup. Might be the best thing ever.
That Staub ramekin is precious. Is this stuff better than swiss fondue? (Why am I certain the answers will be funny?)
Wisconsin fried cheese curd is the shit. The horse and plow in Kohler is the place to get them too. MMMMMMM. Their beer cheese soup is damn good too. And Broome, GTFO with that velveeta talk.
I've only been to WI once when I had some meetings in Milwaukee but even knowing exactly what state I was in I was still surprised that they sold cheese even in the gift shops right next to the gate at the airport, lol.
Fresh cheese curds are one of the few things I miss since leaving Wisconsin. You have to love food that squeaks when you eat it.
I've not had fondue in a while to compare....and last I did I don't think it was remarkable example of it. But just from recollection I'd have to give it to the beer cheese dip. The combo with the pretzel bites tough to beat Is that what they refer to the stuff they regurgitate on the sidewalk after a night at the club ehhh?
Just beautiful...cigarette, beer in hand and the ever protective fucking open shoes. 2xidb positioning also.
OK, so, not funny. Can we go back to this beer cheese? I like both those products ( and pretzels too). What's up with that dip?
This is the style of beer cheese I was munching on last night. I understand that there are several items that go by the term "beer cheese". This one was particularly delish. One more vomit photo and I'm going to start shitting in some forts! https://delishably.com/appetizers-snacks/Kentucky-Beer-Cheese-Recipe
So: Cheddar, garlic, dry mustard, and worchestershire, with stale beer for thinning ( I don't think you'd taste one dash of cayenne sauce in 2# of cheese). Sounds OK. Some other recipes I saw included some horrid ingredients.
Go for the beer cheese soup. From just reading your posts here, you could elevate that into a really spectactular meal with a good ale, a good mix of cheeses, and maybe some homemade smoked sausage thrown in. It's a meal made for Wisconsin winters.
