- 0.25 tsp salt

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly using a hand mixer or spatula until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Add the beer to the mixture a little at a time. Stir or mix on low speed to incorporate the liquid without making the spread too runny.
Step 3
Mix in the garlic powder, paprika, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Step 4
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and smooth the surface. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped chives for garnish.
