Pub cheese

Pub cheese is a type of soft cheese spread or dip prepared using cheese as a primary ingredient and usually with some type of beer or ale added. While beer cheese is made with beer, pub cheese can be made without alcohol. Pub cheese is a traditional bar snack in the United States.

Pub cheese is sometimes prepared using a mix of processed cheese and pure cheese. It can be made with smoked cheeses or liquid smoke added to impart a smoky flavor. It is typically served with crackers or vegetables, which may be dipped into the cheese or used as a base for spreading. It is also used as a topping on sandwiches, such as hamburgers.

It is a mass-produced product in the United States. The dairy brand Président sells pub cheese, and Trader Joe's has a store brand of pub cheese.

Some bars, breweries, public houses and restaurants produce their own versions of pub cheeses.
