2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour

12 oz Schlafly Pale Ale

¼ cup Dijon mustard

4 oz shredded pepper jack cheese

4 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Dash of Worcestershire sauce

Melt butter in a heavy bottom sauce pan.  Slowly add the flour while stirring to make a roux.  Cook over low heat for a few moments while stirring to prevent sticking.  Add the mustard and Schlafly Pale Ale.  Continue to stir as the mixture thickens and comes to a low simmer.  Let simmer 5 minutes.  Slowly whisk in the cheeses and continue stirring until mixture is smooth.  Finish with cayenne pepper and Worcestershire sauce.  Serve warm or at room temperature with Companion Bavarian Pretzels.

   This looks like the Welsh Rarebit I ate every Sunday night as a child growing up in New England. We served it over saltines or toast.
