Derby Party Kentucky Beer Cheese

• 1 lb sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
• 1 lb swiss cheese, finely shredded
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons hot sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic (or more, to taste)
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (or more, to taste)
• 1 cup dark beer, opened, at room temperature. (I have also used Schoenling Little Kings, a cream ale. I believe any full-flavored beer or ale will )

1. Place all ingredients into a bowl of electric mixer and mix well using paddle attachment if possible. Or place all ingredients into a food processor and mix well. Taste and adjust as needed.
2. Divide cheese into six 8 oz. containers and wrap well in plastic wrap. Age the beer cheese for 4-5 days in refrigerator before serving.
3. Before serving, allow cheese to come to room temperature. Serve with crackers, bagel chips, or pretzels.
4. Note: I have frozen this, sometimes with good results, and sometimes not!
