Instructions

In a large bowl, combine Warm Water, Honey, and Yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Add Bread Flour, Salt, and Melted Butter to the yeast mixture. Knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms (about 7-10 minutes).
Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour 30 minutes.
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 deep 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, Smoked Paprika, and Nutmeg. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Serve warm pretzels with Beer Cheese Dip and Stone-Ground Mustard.
