The Second Annual Beer Cheese Festival!



Beer cheese is both delicious and addictive. It's ubiquitous as an appetizer here and with good reason. With a cheddar base the mellow flavor of the beer is given a snappy kick of cayenne that is a perfect match with both crackers and crisp vegetables.

The beautiful city of Winchester, KY is home to the Beer Cheese Festival. I missed the inaugural festival because it was the weekend of  ConFab, Baby, our big house party last year.

I am psyched to go this year.  This list of commercial beer cheese vendors is tantalizing. Plus there are more than 120 vendors for the festival.  Tonight there is a kickoff party with food and live music.  Check out the festival home page for details.  The main festival events are on Saturday June 12th.

The only fly in the ointment is that we have tickets for the Meijer 300 NASCAR Nationwide race at the Kentucky Speedway at Sparta---part of my birthday present from my Husband, Brad---on Saturday.  It's late in the day though so I think we can do both.

I hope to see you there!

Totally just stole a recipe off the internets so I could make my own. Now I wish I had a real food processor rather than a blender that says it can process food. :)
