# Charleston Cheese Spread

Jan 22, 2015 3:00:02 PM  |  by [Guest](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/guest)

This Charleston Cheese Spread is an adaptation of the southern classic pimento cheese. This version has beer, cheddar cheese, lemon, juice, and tabasco for some kick.

I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and New Years. Enjoy!
