How to Make Beer Cheese Fondue

1. Rub the inside of your fondue pot with a clove of garlic.
2. Discard the garlic clove.
3. Place your fondue pot on the stovetop over medium heat.
4. Add 1 cup of beer to the fondue pot and heat until it simmers.
5. Reduce heat to low.
6. In a separate bowl, thoroughly coat 2 cups of grated Gruyère cheese and 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
7. Gradually add the cheese mixture to the simmering beer, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and smooth. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of beer at a time until desired consistency is reached.
8. Transfer the fondue pot to a fondue burner or warming element.
9. Place the fondue pot on a heat-resistant surface.
10. Dip crusty bread cubes, pretzel pieces, or vegetables using fondue forks into the cheese mixture.
