Dos Equis, sausage and cheese, oh my! If we hosted a fantasy food draft, this fondue would be the obvious stud. Dos Equis contributes just the right amount of malt balance and light hop character to the savory and spicy chorizo, making this an ideal indulgence for game day. Be sure to save a couple of ounces of beer to brighten and finish this versatile fondue. Serve with warm tortilla chips or chunks of crusty bread, washed down only with an ice cold Dos Equis.
