This spicy beer dip recipe is jacked up with your favorite hot sauce, perfect for any party, an anytime snack, and ridiculously easy to make.

Are there any music lovers in the house? AND hot sauce fans? I hope so, because I’ve got an amazing cheesy beer dip recipe that’s been “jacked up” with El Yucateco® Black Label Reserve Chile Habanero Hot Sauce, and it’s just the right thing to bring to your next concert venue or music fest, basically wherever you can kick back and enjoy your favorite tunes.

For those who enjoy big flavors, El Yucateco® is perfect for your upcoming summer music adventures. It’s super convenient, as you can just toss a bottle into a bag or purse when it’s time to hit the music scene.

So let’s get to work!

How to Make Spicy Beer Dip - The Recipe Method

This beer dip is crazy easy to make. It’s all mixing. 

All you need is cream cheese, crema or sour cream, shredded Colby Jack cheese or cheddar cheese, a bit of beer, some seasonings and your favorite hot sauce.

For the beer, I chose a lighter IPA because I hugely enjoy the hoppy flavors of a good IPA, but you can use an easy light beer. Or, try a Mexican style beer, which is my other go-to for this recipe.

Add it all to a large bowl and pour in a couple tablespoons of the hot sauce.

Or hey, be like me and add even MORE. The flavor keeps getting better! Dash that stuff right in there!

Easy, right? Now, get to stirring. It’s easy enough to mix it by hand, but you can use a hand mixer as well, or beat the cream cheese in a food processor for extra fluffy beer dip.

Seriously, you’re practically done. You can totally eat this right now, but it is better to let the flavors mingle a while in the fridge, at least a couple hours, more ideally overnight, though. 15 minutes will do if you're in a rush. I know you want your cream cheese beer dip right now!

Just cover it up and it will be ready to accompany you on your musical experience.

Don’t forget the chips!

Sprinkle on a few chopped green onions for color if you'd like.

Patty and I enjoy bringing this dip to one of our favorite music venues, Ravinia. Summers are great when you can sit outside with a couple drinks, some fine zesty beer dip, sitting on a blanket, listing to live music. We’ve been going there for years.

So many great memories, and so many more to come.

Recipe Tips & Notes

• Serving. Serve your spicy beer cheese dip with soft pretzels, or serve with pretzels or crunchy tortilla chips. So good!
• The Beer. You can use any type of beer for this dip. I love a flavorful IPA for my beer dip, but use your favorite.
• Seasonings. Try this with a ranch dressing mix or ranch seasonings for a unique flavor. It's very popular!

• Taste and adjust with more hot sauce as you’d like!
• Cover the dip and refrigerate it at least 2 hours to let it set and allow the flavors to mingle a bit. It can be served right away, but it’s even better when you let it site, especially overnight.
