Have you tried a pub cheese before? It kind of reminded me of a strong cheese that we used to get in little brown crock pots when I was growing up. It didn’t have stout in it like this cheese but was also spreadable. Did I just date myself to the olden days?? Do any of you remember that cheese?
This spread goes wonderfully with the oat crackers from Nairn’s. The crackers are not only delicious but also nutritious. Packed with so many organic whole grain oats there is not much room left for anything else.
Nairn’s Oat Crackers
As you can see not only are they made with organic whole grain oats but they are wheat free, free of trans fat, a great source of fiber and have no added sugar. They are a guilt free option that are healthier for you and give you energy to keep enjoying your day!!
Nairn’s oat crackers are baked in Scotland since 1896 and they are the most popular oat cracker around, which is not a surprise with their lovely toasted oat flavor! They are the perfect cracker to serve with all your charcuterie and cheese boards. They stand up beautifully to a hardy topping and go from sweet to savory easily.

I’m super excited to try this! Only thing is, I can’t have alcohol. Is there anything I can substitute the stout with?
Thanks!

I would use milk or cream to loosen up the spread to the desire consistency. Won’t have the same flavor but still delicious!!

Any idea how long this will last? If I make up a large batch next week, and put it in sealed jars in the fridge, should it last for Christmas Eve (i.e., a month or so) This looks sooooo good!

I had it in the fridge for two days and it was fine then by the third day it started to separate, the beer was coming out. So definitely won’t last a month.
