Beer cheese dip is always a winner. 

"A beer cheese dip is a real crowd-pleaser...and it's super easy too! Use some pretzels to dip in there, and you’re right in the spirit," Christine Pittman, Founder of COOKtheSTORY.com and The Cookful, tells Fox News.

"I was inspired to create this recipe because I was at Le Cellier Steakhouse (which is at the Canadian pavilion in Disney’s EPCOT, and I am originally from Canada). Le Cellier has a Canadian cheddar cheese soup and it was so good I wanted to recreate it into a dip," she continues.

Pittman says you can make this recipe ahead of time and reheat when you’re ready to roll. 

"Just pop it in the microwave for 30 second intervals or put it in your slow cooker on the ‘warm’ setting," she says.

Serve with soft pretzels (our favorite) or hard pretzels.
