How to Make Beer Cheese Logs

In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add shredded cheddar cheese, snipped parsley, and paprika. Mix well to combine.
Gradually add the warmed beer, beating until the mixture is nearly smooth. Add more beer if needed to reach desired consistency.
Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Once chilled, turn the cheese mixture out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently shape it into a log, about 1 inch in diameter.
Press slivered almonds along the top of the log.
For individual servings: Alternatively, spoon the chilled cheese mixture into small ramekins or crocks. Chill for 3-24 hours.
Slice the log (or serve from ramekins) and serve chilled. Enjoy!
