Cheese, and beer….enough said.
BEER DIP! This is the dip we bring everywhere, and it is always the first dip to disappear. Seriously, no gathering is complete without this easy dip.
My dear friend Beth introduced me to this dip. I give her all the credit for the awesomeness! Did I mention how simple this bad boy is to make! Check it out!
How to make Beer Dip
- I used an electric stand mixer to mix up the dip. Feel free to mix by hand…. you will burn many more calories, which means you can eat more beer dip 🙂
- Start by placing the 2 bricks of cream cheese in your mixing bowl. Pour about 1/2 a beer into the bowl.
- Next add your 2 cups of cheese and ranch mix.
- Mix together until smooth. Feel free to play around with the beer. You can add more to make it thinner or don’t put as much in to thicken it up. Refrigerate dip for about and hour. And serve! You can serve this dip with a ton of different dippers. Pita chips, crackers, veggies. Our favorite is pretzels! Hope you enjoy!

How long does this dip last in the fridge?
Laura B says
This dip is super delicious . Your mother made it for a get-together that she and your dad hosted tonight at their house here in Florida. I don’t know if you taught your mom how to cook or if she taught you, but both of you are awesome cooks! I am so glad to know your mom and to subscribe to your blog!
Corey says
Yay Laura I am so glad you liked it! I learned everything from my Mom when it comes to cooking. She IS amazing 🙂 Hey, maybe the Beer Dip could make an appearance at your LFD? hehe XO
Erin says
I’ve been making this dip for years and I add one bunch of chopped scallions. OMG so delish!
Shirley says
Have you tried heating this up and melting the cheese? I may try and see what happens.
Corey says
No I have not. It might get a little greasy though. If you do try it out, please let us know how it goes 🙂
Paula says
This is SOOOOOOO good!!… I added real bacon bits, small cuts of pepperoni, a little Beau Monde seasoning for added flavor… Making this recipe a touch of me..:)
Paula says
Will make again & again… ….TY TY TY….:)
Kelly says
Has anyone tried freezing this? How well would it be after being frozen?
Stephanie says
I imagine the beer might cause it to crystallize if frozen…
Renee says
I love this dip! I add bacon and red onions to mine 🙂
Corey says
mmmmmm, bacon 🙂
Laura says
Does one type of beer seem to work better than another?
Carly says
Can this be made without the ranch seasoning? I am living in Japan and want to make this for a party but don’t think there is any ranch seasoning in the stores.
Corey says
I have a homemade recipe on my site for the ranch mix 🙂 https://www.familyfreshmeals.com/2014/07/diy-homemade-ranch-dressing-mix.html
Leo says
Good, but it’s hard to mess anything up when you’re starting out with cream cheese and ranch seasoning. This is not a traditional beer cheese recipe, and I’m not sure that the beer really adds anything to the overall flavor – sort of an afterthought to a classic party dip mix.

This looks like a must have at a gathering. Whether you use pretzels, pita chips or tortilla chips, it’d be a win! Thank you!
AnnaE says
How long can it last after we make it? Thanks!
Corey says
I would store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
AnnaE says
Thank you 😀
Barbara Olsen says
would like to be able to print receipe
Corey says
Barbara, there is a button on the recipe card that will allow you to print the recipe.
Dev says
Make this every year for our Octoberfest spread + on special occasions. Highly recommend with large soft pretzels too!
Linda Bergevin says
Recipe shows 1 min cooktime…but nothing in instructions about cooking?
Corey says
Hi Linda, in our old recipe card, and of the 0’s got changed to 1’s by mistake. I will make sure to get that one changed to 0 cook time now. Sorry for any confusion.
Linda Bergevin says
Unsure from the posted recipe to cook or not, I placed in a microwave for 3 mins on Power 60. Then stirred and microwaved again for another 2 mins on Power 60. The dip was excellent, a lovely melted cheese/ beer flavor that had been enhanced by “baking”. I served with pretzels and corn dippers: Folks raved over it! I made it again within the same week for another event and again – this was a real winner!!
Regan says
This looks awesome – is the cream cheese supposed to be cold or room temperature?
Corey says
When I make it, I take it right out of the fridge. I do use a stand mixer, so mixing isn’t a problem. If you are mixing by hand, you might want to bring the cream cheese to room temp.
Carol Wall says
I love this recipe. How long is it good for in the refrigerator?
Corey says
I would use it within 3-5 days
Deb says
This is exactly the way I learned to make this beer dip at a Green Bay Packers tail gate party. I loved it so much I memorized it. Thank you for helping out with the memory part.
