Irish Beer-Cheese Dip {with Guinness and Corned Beef}


St. Patrick's Day and beer go hand-in-hand, so I thought an Irish Beer-Cheese Dip would be the perfect appetizer for next Tuesday. {Or Wednesday, using leftover corned beef from the night before!} I took a bunch of flavors that scream Irish to me and created this dip that goes perfect with a cold bottle of Guinness. It can be served with rye bread, sliced Irish soda bread - or really anything that you want to slather it on. The flavors are a perfect blend of cool, fresh and tangy, almost reminded me of a spinach dip - but it obviously doesn't taste like spinach. {If you are looking for something spicier, you may be interested in Spicy Beer-Cheese Dip with Bacon!}
