I still do not know what really constitutes beer cheese. Is there even beer in the cheese? Or is it just a bit of malty flavor?
That being said, transferring cheese flavor to a pretzel cannot be easy. Adding a beer cheese to a pretzel must be harder.
So, this would be Needed or Not based on one taste of the pretzel. If it ain’t good, or at least to the American level of saltiness then the vote is Not Needed.
