Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine the cream cheese, mustard, cheddar cheese, cream, and salt in a food processor. Process for 30 seconds, add the beer, and continue processing until very smooth. Pulse in the parsley until just dispersed.

Note: This can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You will want to take it out an hour before serving if you do refrigerate.
