Pub cheese

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]}
