Steps:

• Cut the camembert and the butter into small pieces. Add them to a medium-sized mixing bowl and mince them with a fork or with a pastry cutter (works really well).
• Add the cream cheese, paprika, ground caraway, salt, and pepper and mix well.
• Now add the finely chopped onion and mix again.
• Finally add the wheat beer. We usually add two tablespoons, but depending on the consistency of your cheese spread you might want to add slightly more or less. Mix well.
• Cover the cheese spread and place it in the fridge for at least an hour to chill and allow the flavors to mingle.
• Before serving, try the spread and add more salt and/or pepper to taste. You can garnish it with some chopped parsley or chives.
