This is a great cheese fondue. I used 1 cup of swiss cheese and 1 cup of emmenthal cheese (and the cheddar cheese). I used Stella Artois for the beer and we added just a little bit more beer. The taste is wonderful. It was a bit thick so next time we will probably add more beer. Thanks Nyteglori :) Made for Best of 2011 tag game

We loved this variation on cheese fondue! I used Redbridge and served with a variety of vegetables, grilled potatoes, bread cubes, and smoked sausage. Thanks for sharing! ZWT7
