Pub cheese
Pub cheese is a type of soft cheese spread and dip prepared using cheese as a primary ingredient and usually with some type of beer or ale added.[1] It can be made with smoked cheeses or liquid smoke added to impart a smoky flavor.[2][3] It is typically served with crackers or vegetables, whereby the cheese is spread onto these foods, or the foods may be dipped in it.[4] It is also used as a topping on sandwiches, such as hamburgers.[5] Pub cheese is a traditional bar snack in the United States.[6]

Pub cheese is sometimes prepared using a mix of processed cheese and pure cheese.
It is a mass-produced product in the United States.[7][8] For example, Président is a brand that includes pub cheese in its line, and Trader Joe's has a store brand of pub cheese.[8][9]
Some bars, breweries, public houses and restaurants produce their own versions of pub cheese.[6][10][11][12]
