No. 92: Beer Muenster Cheese Soup From Big Bear Brewing Co.

It's like a pot full of cheese fondue... inside a bread bowl. Thick as a spoonful of melted gold and cheesier than a McG flick, Big Bear's famous beer muenster soup is indulgence dialed up to 11. Everything works in concert: The sourdough roll is fresh and slightly toasted, the soup redolent of Big Bear's hearty Grizzly Red Ale which gives the dish its aromatic kick. At $5 for a bowling ball sized portion, it's a cheap meal to boot -- but even funner if you share with a friend. Some folks eat the whole bowl, others just go for the cheese. Either way, this soup is one of our favorite dishes in South Florida, bar none.
