Save this recipe for St. Patrick's Day! It's delicious and easy enough to make while you finish that bottle (or case) of beer.
- 8 ounces of blue cheese, crumbled (about 2 cups)
- 1/4 cup flour
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard (I used Dijon mustard – everyone survived)
- 3/4 cup Irish lager (Harp is a good choice and not difficult to find at stores)
- 1/2 cup 2 percent milk

Beer and cheese, cheese and beer!
- salt
Possible dippers
- bread, cubed
- roasted Brussels sprouts
- apples
In a medium bowl, toss together the blue cheese, flour, cayenne pepper and mustard.
In a fondue pot – OR in a pot on the stove (directly over the heat or double-boiler style) – combine the beer and milk. Stirring occasionally, bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the cheese mixture to the liquids and stir with a wooden spoon until the cheese is melted and the mixture is relatively smooth.
Serve immediately.
Makes about four servings.
