Cheddar Ale Spread
Doesn't this just sound delicious? It's a great, cheesy spread with layers of flavor that really make it an upscale football food. While it's a little thick for an actual dip, it's perfect spread on crackers or stuffed into celery. I love the play of a touch of mustard with the beer and a fresh pop from the parsley mixed into a sharp cheddar base. Just a few simple ingredients whirled in a food processor and you've got one tasty cheese dish for your football spread.
When I saw this recipe from Brown Eyed Baker, I was intrigued. Honestly, a spread seemed less fun than a traditional dip, but then I thought of all the crackers, bagel chips and other sturdy snack foods begging for something more than just a sour cream and onion dip. So I gave it a go and I'm so glad I did. Using Harpoon Summer (because that's what Dave had on tap when I made this) and making a point to use fresh parsley (although dried would be a fine substitute), I was very pleased with this spread when I served it for a group of girlfriends. And Dave loved the leftovers, requesting this be put in the snacking rotation. Can't ask for a better response than that, especially for a simple recipe. I shredded my own bricks of cheddar, but you can certainly buy the pre-shredded bags and make it even easier on yourself. Serve it up with sturdy crackers or spread it on crusty baguette slices, and enjoy.
