8 oz. softened cream cheese
10 oz. port wine cheese, softened
1/4 to 1/2 c. beer

Blend cheeses together with a hand mixer. Add beer until cheese mixture becomes easy to spread.

TO SERVE: Slice off top of whole fresh pumpernickel bread. Scoop out the inside of the loaf leaving 1/2 inch wall. Spoon in cheese spread and serve with crackers and the bread removed from the inside of the loaf; cube bread.

When crackers and cheese spread are eaten, you can break apart the bread shell to eat. This can be refrigerated, but for best spreading results, serve at room temperature.
