Reviews
I used a Lager instead of pale ale, tasted fine. I left the jalapeños on the side because I have some spicy adversed family members. But know this is super thick. We had soft pretzels but I dont think tortilla chips would have been up to the challenge. I even added half and half to thin it out. I also have no kitchen skills and made literally twice the recipe because I wasn’t paying attention to how much gouda I shredded. So this could be user error. But good flavor.
I didn’t like it. It had a sour taste to it. I used pale ale. Followed the recipe exactly as written.
