Steps:

• 1. Cut white American cheese into small pieces. Place in top portion of double boiler along with milk. Heat until cheese is melted. Mix well with a wire whip.
• 2. Place beer, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, Dijon mustard and Tabasco in small mixing bowl. Mix until completely blended. Add ingredients to melted cheese.
• 3. Blend well with wire whip and place in oven-proof dish. Bake at 350° until very hot (about 20 minutes). Or, place in a very small crock pot on low power to serve hot.
• 4. Serve with crispy garlic toast, tortilla chips, or hot soft pretzels.

Steps:

• Bring the lager, mustard powder and Worcestershire sauce to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then reduce the heat to low. Add the cream cheese and cook, whisking, until melted and smooth. Gradually add handfuls of the cheeses, whisking to melt between each addition; do not let the mixture boil. Cook, whisking, until completely smooth, then add the cayenne and garlic powder and season with salt to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature; the sauce will thicken as it cools.
