Yield: 4 cups

18 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tsp garlic powder
1 cup amber beer, Belgian white beer or nonalcoholic beer Fat Tire Belgian White is my preference
2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 lb bacon (cooked and crumbled)
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 green onion (thinly sliced)
60-80 Soft pretzel bites Philly Pretzel Factory Rivets

Cook bacon and dry with paper towels, then crumble up to 24 hours before hand.
To prevent sticking, grease the inside of the crock pot with Pam or other non-stick cooking spray
In crock pot, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, mustard and garlic powder until
smooth.
Stir in beer, cheddar cheese and all but 2 tablespoons bacon. Cook,
covered, on low, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Approximately 2-3 hours.
In last 30 minutes, stir in heavy cream. Top with onion and remaining bacon and serve with soft pretzel bites.
