Here's a recipe for Beer Cheese Spread that's wonderful.

1 small onion, chopped fine
2 cloves garlic, chopped fine
1 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp red pepper
Tabasco sauce to taste (I use about 10 drops or so)
salt to taste
1 bottle beer (usually I use it flat but not always)
1 sourdough round hollowed out or crackers to spread

In a large bowl, blend together the onion, garlic and cheese. Boil the beer and let cool. Add beer to cheese slowly and whip. When it is fluffy, add remaining ingredients. Hollow out bread loaf and fill with cheese mixture or place mixture in a crock or other small container and serve with crackers.
