Oh my goodness, this cheese. This is a heavenly soft and spreadable concoction of cheddar cheese, beer and a few other goodies that you whiz up in your food processor. I hear that it got its start in Kentucky, and so there are various versions of this that are called Kentucky Beer Cheese. Being the good Northerner that I am, I used my very favorite Vermont Cabot Extra Sharp cheddar in this, so I really wanted to call it Vermont Beer Cheese...but I figured that might cause a ruckus with the Southern side of my family. So I'm simply going with beer cheese, because whatever you call it, it still tastes pretty dang fine.
