This is a simple appetizer recipe that's great for tailgates, football parties, picnics, and fall entertaining. Of course, there is a secret New England ingredient in this cheese spread recipe: Harpoon Oktoberfest beer.

Cheese Spread serves 8-10 people.

You'll Need:
Food Processor or Electric Mixer
Measuring Cups and Spoons
Bottle Opener

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 pound Vermont white cheddar cheese finely shredded
  • 1/2 pound Swiss cheese finely shredded
  • 2 (or more if you love garlic) cloves of garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • A little over a half cup of Harpoon Oktoberfest beer or your favorite seasonal or other brew
Preparation:
A food processor works best, or use an electric mixer to combine all of the ingredients except the beer. When the cheese is smooth and mixed thoroughly, add the beer gradually until blended. Chill for several hours before serving.

Note: Serve with your favorite buttery crackers or salty bread sticks.
