Beer Dip for Pretzels Recipes

The name beer dip is misleading in two ways. Some people may think this dip is made to get drunk another way with beer. But most of the alcohol evaporates during the cooking process. You wouldn’t get so much as a buzz from these dips.

Other people may think that beer dip is for beer; spoiler alert, it’s not. Instead, we call it beer dip because beer is part of the ingredients list, but we are mostly looking for flavor and chemical reactions from the alcohol as it is being evaporated.

These dips are perfectly safe for everyone to enjoy, even the kids.

What to Dip

If beer dip is not for beer and the alcohol is evaporated, what is it for? Well, these amazing beer dip recipes are made for whatever you want to dip in them. The recipes may vary in flavor, but the idea is still the same.

Beer dips are mostly cheese-based dips. That means you will want to dip anything you would dip in the cheese. You can dip pretzels, chips, veggies, or whatever your heart desires.

Just keep in mind salty snacks go great with beer, and the flavor of the beer will be subtle but present in the dip. Do with that info what you will.
