About
A beer dip made without cooking? That's how you get a Better Beer Dip! Creamy, tangy, cheesy, zesty, and just a touch malty from the beer, this is exactly what you want when you're watching the game, chilling with friends, or just enjoying the day and need some excitement for your tastebuds. We recommend serving it with pretzels in classic beer dip fashion, but this Better Beer Dip goes with any chip, veggie, or snack you can think of for dipping. It's always a better day with this on the table!
