Our Grüvi Pale Ale is a customer favorite for a reason — hoppy and flavorful, this craft beer is so delicious, you'll never know it's alcohol free. While they're made for sipping, our beers play double-duty by making an excellent ingredient in recipes like this warm queso dip. The cozy fall flavors are perfect for chilly evenings and football Sunday gatherings!

Just like your childhood favorite, this ultra-creamy queso dip is so good, you'll want to eat it straight up (but we recommend pairing it with chips!)
