In a large bowl, combine Warm Water, Sugar, and Yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Add Flour, Salt, and Vegetable Oil to the yeast mixture. Knead until a smooth dough forms (about 5-7 minutes).
Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
Punch down the dough and divide into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope (about 24 inches).
Shape each rope into a pretzel shape. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush pretzels with beaten Egg and sprinkle generously with Coarse Pretzel Salt.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While pretzels are baking, prepare the Beer Cheese Dip. In a medium bowl, combine Cream Cheese, Cheddar Cheese, Beer, Worcestershire Sauce, Garlic Powder, and Cayenne Pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Serve warm pretzels with Beer Cheese Dip and Spicy Brown Mustard.
