Place the cheddar, cream cheese, garlic, Worcestershire, dijon, and paprika in a food processor. Process until smooth, you may need to scrape down the sides and process it a few times to get smooth.
Turn the processor on and start streaming in the beer through the top of the food processor until smooth and silky.
Taste, add salt if you think it needs it. Place in an airtight container or a serving dish covered with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for at least an hour to let the flavors blend. Serve cold, at room temperature, or warm with your favorite dippers.
Notes
Nutritional value does not include dippers.
This can easily be doubled to make more.
Sharp cheddar cheese is recommended for this recipe.
We like to use a lager for this (see ideas above) for a sweeter subtle flavor use a pale light beer, for a more strong/bitter flavor, use a dark beer.
