Beer Cheese

Description

Beer Cheese is one of our Wisconsin Cheeses along with  Muenster, Brick, Limburger and our  American Cheeses.

It is a semi-soft combination of Limburger Cheese and Brick Cheese.  Not to be mistaken for the Beer Cheese dips that are popular in Kentucky, it has a very strong smell and taste. Germans like to put it on rye bread along with some sliced onion, and have it with beer.
