This is delicious. However, 4 cups of cheddar was too much. I got to 3.5 cups, and it was getting too thick. I’ve made a lot of other cheese fondue recipes to know if I put in anymore cheese, it was going to get too thick and perhaps congeal. I think 3 cups would be perfect. Next time, I’ll use 3 cups. Yes, there will be a next time because otherwise, this is probably the best tasting cheese fondue I’ve ever made!
Couldn’t get it quite smooth but it was a great hit. Did an extra half on everything but the beer and the taste was Just right. Thank you
This was a hit at my house. I had a lot of cheddar and a heineken. I didn’t have worcheshire sauce though. It was really tasty with day old white french bread.
It tastes of beer and nothing else. If u dont like the flavor of beer like me then you wont enjoy this recipe.
I make this recipe all the time for Girls’ Night! We love it – especially with Granny Smith apples! It is so easy and delicious – I’d reccomend it to anyone to try!
I have made this fondue numerous times and just love it. I used 2% cheese the last time and it was just as wonderful. My friends always ask for the recipe.
To my surprise, the Melting Pot resturant added what tastes like the same fondue during their last menu.

I made with Sam Adams and used regular french bread and didn’t make the bread in the recipe. My husband and I loved this. Ours was thick and we loved the flavor. I can see how someone may not like the flavor, but the recipe itself is great!!! We will make this again especially at the holidays!
I tried the recipe tonight and it works.
My friend and I enjoyed our fondue very much.
Before I try this recipe,I was so worried. You can see so many different reivews here and rated it from 1 star to 5 stars. I followed the directions and used Bud Light lime beer that I only have.It turned out great and tasted great too.
If you want to try this recipe,go ahead and don’t forget to use whisk. Use your whisk all the time.

I have made this recipe several times now, and I always get rave reviews from friends and relatives. I love cheddar fondue, and the beer adds great depth to the flavor. I just use cubed French bread instead of the following bread recipe. It’s quick, tasty, and a huge hit!
I had made this for my friends and they have all asked for the recipe! It is super easy and very delicious. I like to use sausage and steamed veggies for dippers. I like to use potatoes, broccoli and asparagus.
