Thanks for the recipes. I've been dreaming about Welsh rarebit for the last week or so, and these recipes aren't helping! Actually, that beer cheese fondue recipe is extremely close to what I'd put in a Welsh rarebit. Maybe for breakfast one morning soon.

I remember creating my first Beer and Cheese dish.

3 Steps ... Quite easy:

1: Open Beer and start consuming.
2: Open cheese and let it come up to room temperature. Consume another beer.
3: Open crackers and arrange on plate. And yes, consume yet another beer.

Continue to consume beer till the cheese is up to temp ... Time to open another beer and chow down !!

Love these good 'ol college day recipes.
