Place any leftover dip in an airtight container and store it in the fridge. Enjoy the remaining cheese dip for up to 5 days.
How To Reheat Leftover Cheese Dip
Beer cheese dip cold is not super tasty, so you’ll definitely want to warm leftovers up before enjoying! I’d recommend reheating the leftovers in a saucepan over low to medium heat.
This way it gets a slow, even heat. Microwaving it may heat it too fast, resulting in scalding the cheese, and ruining the dip!

Steps
Make the dip by melting butter and flour together, then gradually whisk in milk (stirring well to remove lumps).
Whisk in the beer, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and paprika until it comes together. Let this simmer for 3 minutes.
Then whisk in the cheese and serve hot.
Notes
- I don’t have Dijon mustard - what could I substitute? You could substitute yellow mustard or mustard powder.
- Can I use pre-shredded cheese? The flavor and texture will be better if you shred the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese has fillers added to keep it from clumping and it does not melt as nicely.
