How to Make Beer Cheese Logs

- 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.

- Slice the log (or serve from ramekins) and serve chilled. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
