Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
  2. Stir in the beer and mustard and cook, stirring, for a few minutes until the mixture begins to boil and thicken. Gradually stir in the grated cheese.

  3. Once all the cheese has been added, continue cooking, stirring, until the sauce is smooth and just beginning to simmer, another 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce into a serving bowl and serve with pretzels. If the cheese sauce seems grainy, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve and serve.
