NOTE: This dip is a little on the salty side; which makes it a perfect match with beer. If you are not serving beer with this dip I would recommend you add the Ranch dressing a little at a time and do a taste test to make sure it satisfies your taste buds. I love salty things. Some people don’t.
ALSO….want to add a little spice? Create TWO dip dishes from one recipe. Make the dip as instructed, set aside. Then make the dip again…also as instructed, but this time also add chopped jalapeno peppers! TIP: If you’re like me and love the flavor of jalapeno peppers but not the spice, use fresh peppers, remove the seeds and you’re set! Otherwise make it easy on yourself and use canned jalapeno peppers and bring on the heat!
ANOTHER BEER DIP OPTION
Throw away the cans of processed (fake) cheese! This delicious Cheesy Beery Dip is not only an amazing dip but can also be used to dress up vegetables, sandwiches and burgers. My favorite way to serve this Cheesy Beer Dip is with homemade soft pretzels! CLICK HERE FOR THE RECIPE —->>>>CHEESY BEER DIP

Great recipes for tailgating especially the Beer Dip can’t wait to try this”
Hi Sheryl! This beer dip looks soooo good! I love making dips as they’re so easy, but tasty. I’m also like a beer now and then 🙂 I’ve pinned this and thanks for sharing!
I love the idea for this dip but I have a question. Here in Australia we only get liquid Ranch dressing, not in a packet to make up. What could I do to still make this recipe?
Hi Bern,
I would add all the spices and ingredients that make up Ranch Dressing except for the wet ingredients. Here is my Ranch Dressing Recipe: https://www.ladybehindthecurtain.com/ranch-dressing/
I hope this helps. 🙂
Hi Edie, This question got me to thinking what goes good with beer. This is what I came up with. How about using a pouch with the spices in it to make chili…or the lipton dry onion soup mix. If you choose to use either of these, I would first pour some in with all the other ingredients, mix it in real good, taste and then decide if the dip needed more. It’s better to start out needing more than wishing you hadn’t put it all in. Good Luck! 🙂
This dip is always a hit! It has become my “go to” recipe for a crowd. It is so easy to prepare. If I have peppers, olives or leftover corn, I add them.
Has anyone ever made a Mexican version of this?
I typically make this for all my parties and my guests LOVE it. But my next party has a tacos and tequila theme, so I’d like to have my “famous” beer dip go along with the theme.

How. Long can this dip be kept?. Or maybe make I/2
Hi Elma,
I guess until the cream cheese expires. You can make half. 🙂
What beer did you use?
Hi Allison, Cheap Bud Lite HA! 🙂
Me too! It is good! Serving it up at the Purdue football game this weeekend!
Awesome! Have fun!
It is 4 packages of 8ozs or 4 to 8 ozs of cream cheese?
Hi Kristin,
4 – 8 ounce packages of cream cheese. A total of 32 ounces. 🙂
Is the ranch salad dressing mix the regular or the buttermilk dressing mix?
Hi Ker,
you can use either. 🙂
This would be really good with a clear, crisp beer and goat cheese, too! 🙂
is there something else one can use other then ranch I’m not a fan of ranch and really wanted to try this

Thanks Janet. I love your addition ideas. 🙂
Is there a substitute for the beer?
Hi Linda, You could use milk.
Is it OK for children?
That is totally up to you Al.

Hi Haley, I haven’t tried to make a Mexican version. I love the idea….I’ll have to think about this one. Let me know if you come up with something.
This was perfection. Great to pair warm with other meats as a dip too.
I’m so glad you liked it Ashley!
What about putting crumbled bacon in it too?
Sounds Yummy Stephy!
I will be making this for Thanksgiving to share with the family
