A July 4 Beer Cheese Recipe, Courtesy Of Hamilton's

Looking for something tasty to spice up your 4th of July party? We asked Hamilton’s (2826 Fort Hamilton Parkway on the corner of E 4th) for a tip. Owner Georgia Read revealed a simple and delicious recipe for their beer cheese, which can be served with soft pretzels (like the ones Hamilton’s uses from Sigmund’s).

For this recipe, you will need:

• 1 quart shredded shard cheddar
• 5 ounces dark beer
• 1 teaspoon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha
• 1 tablespoon chives
• Ground black pepper to taste

Gently heat ingredients in a saucepan until fully mixed. “When the result cools,” Georgia says, “mix in 2 tablespoons of mayo and enjoy!”

We hope Georgia’s recipe will help start your July 4 festivities off right.
