I had seen this recipe on her blog a while ago, and in the time since I first saw it and went 'mmmm yum must make,' she's posted it in several posts related to football/tailgating goodies, dips, fall recipes, etc. The point is, I've been reminded of this recipe, unlike my ripped out Bon Appetit recipes which get clipped and filed and then forgotten about, for the most part, until I flip through the binders of clipped recipes.
So I did what I always do when I want to make something: I emailed the recipe link to SP and commented that it sounded like a yummy football snack. He agreed that it sounded yummy, so we decided to make it.

After grating, we emptied out the food processor bowl, actually measured out the correct amount of grated cheese, and set the leftover grated cheddar aside for another use. Then we processed together the grated cheddar, cream cheese, mustard, cream, beer and parsley. We used one of SP's Blue Moon Seasonal Harvest Moon Pumpkin beers. We omitted the salt.
We cheated with the parsley. I still feel guilty. We have 2 pots of fresh parsley out on the deck, but we made the dip Saturday night, during the rain, and we were too lazy, I guess, to go out on the deck in the rain to get fresh parsley. So we used dried parsley. Here's what it looked like Saturday night, right after we made it and plopped it into a plastic container:
