Pub cheese is a type of soft cheese spread or dip prepared using cheese as a primary ingredient and usually with some type of beer or ale added.[1] While beer cheese is made with beer, pub cheese can be made without alcohol.[2]
Pub cheese is sometimes prepared using a mix of processed cheese and pure cheese.[2] It can be made with smoked cheeses or liquid smoke added to impart a smoky flavor.[3][4] It is typically served with crackers or vegetables, which may be dipped into the cheese or used as a base for spreading.[5] It is also used as a topping on sandwiches, such as hamburgers.[6]
It is a mass-produced product in the United States, typically produced without any alcohol.[7][8]
Some bars, breweries, public houses and restaurants produce their own versions of pub cheeses.[9][10][11][12]
