Cheese Jerky Beer Dip

Most people have an idea for an invention, Ross Segel was someone who actually did something with it. He’s the founder of Snack Patrol, a snack food company that produces Cheese Jerky. (Learn more about Ross and his unique snack in a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article I wrote here.)
While researching, I also got to experiment with recipe development. I made Beer Cheese Jerky Soup (delish), Pizza Dip and Beer Dip. With Cheese Jerky and Lakefront Brewery’s Wheat Monkey beer, this beer dip screams Wisconsin. It also pairs perfectly with pretzels.

Fun story! Nice photo too… guessing there wasn’t space to run it in the paper? Cheese jerky sounds delicious.
This was a recipe I developed aside from the article in the paper. It is seriously addictive.
