1. Buffalo Chicken Dip

This is a classic dip sure to be a fan favorite. It’s made with cream cheese, shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, sour cream, cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, and green onions.

The cheese has an incredible gooey factor that’s just irresistible when you dig into it with tortilla or potato chips or celery sticks.

To save on prep time, you could pick up a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from your local grocery store.

To plus up the flavor, it’s paired with Blue Moon^® Mango Wheat. Blue Moon Mango wheat has a sweet creaminess that balances the heat and spicy tang of the buffalo sauce, while the bright tropical mango mingles with the vinegar tang of the sauce to enhance both flavors.

I mean look at the streeeeetchy cheese. My heaven right there.

It’s a classic dip that everyone loves and a cold beer like Blue Moon Mango Wheat is the perfect touch.

2. Taco Dip

The second dip is inspired by the flavors of Mexico. Start by mixing refried beans with taco seasoning. Then, add a layer of cream cheese mixed with sour cream, topped with chunky salsa, cheese, green black olives, and green onions.

Serve it with tortilla chips and pair it with a great cerveza like Sol. Sol’s bready malt sweetness and light, crisp body balance the rich refried beans and add a refreshing contrast to the salty black olives and tortilla chips.

The refreshing carbonation of Sol brightens the dip and cleanses the palate for more.

Just beat together cream cheese, sour cream, ranch seasoning mix, bacon, green onions, cheese, and voilà, you’re done in less than 5 minutes.

Serve it with potato chips on a summer day and pair with a chilled Coors Banquet^®. The malty sweetness of Coors Banquet provides a refreshing contrast to the ranch seasoning and salty bacon while complementing the toasted quality of the chips. The carbonation lightens each bite making you crave more.

4. Chocolate Candy Bar Dip

To balance out the savory dips on this list, here’s a deliciously sweet dessert dip. This dip is made with a combination of your favorite diced candy bars. I used candy bars that had caramel and wafer in them, but feel free to use whatever you enjoy.

The candy bar pieces are mixed into lightly sweetened cream cheese that’s swirled with melted chocolate.

Serve this easy, no-fuss dip with wafers or graham crackers and pair it with a Leinenkugel’s^® Snowdrift Vanilla Porter^®. The vanilla bean and roasty chocolate notes from the roasted malts in Leinenkugel’s Snowdrift Porter complement the sweet milk chocolate and nutty flavors in the candy while contrasting the salted caramel.

The subtle bitterness and carbonation provide balance to this sweet dip.  This is another one that’s ready in 5 minutes, making it a perfect dessert for impromptu events.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

• To a large bowl, add the cream cheese and beat with a handheld electric mixer until soft and fluffy.

• To a medium bowl, add the cream cheese, and beat with a handheld electric mixer until soft and fluffy.
• Add the sour cream and beat to combine.
• Turn mixture out over the refried beans in the pie dish. Tip - I like to make the subsequent layers just a bit smaller in diameter so that with each successive layer, you can get a glimpse of what's underneath.
• Evenly pour the salsa out over the cream cheese-sour cream layer, evenly sprinkle the cheese, olives, green onions, and either serve immediately with tortilla chips or cover and chill in the fridge for up to 24 hours before serving. Pair with Sol. Dip will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.

• To a large bowl, add the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and beat with a handheld electric on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy; stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Add the vanilla and beat on medium-high speed to incorporate, about 15 seconds.
• Add 1 heaping cup candy bar pieces, optional salt, and stir by hand to incorporate.
