Crocked Beer Cheese

This is hot and tangy - great to have on hand at all times.

1 1/2 pounds Cheddar cheese, grated
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 to 2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
1 (12 ounce) can beer, allowed to go flat

Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until a coarse puree. Cut a square of colored plastic wrap to fit a nice, new terracotta container or other suitable container. Put square inside the container with about 5 inches showing above the top of the container. Fill container with cheese. Gather wrap and tie with a raffia bow. This will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator.
