This is the real deal for Kentucky Beer Cheese. Some like a teaspoon of worchestershire and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Heat it up to your personal taste. Hall's has (had? are they still there?) fabulous beer cheese. If anyone lived in Lexington in 70's and remembers Shopper's Choice beer cheese.... a little extra Tobasco and some cayenne added to Tilthouse's recipe replicates Shopper's Choice. I actually like's Shopper Choice better than Hall's....but this is a great recipe for the basics.
