Mild Beer Cheese
This is the classic. If you’ve never had the pleasure of trying beer cheese before (bless your heart!), this is a great introduction to our family tradition. If you have and you’re a lover of the classics, this one is for you.
The Scoop
Olivia’s Mild Beer Cheese is pleasingly smooth, with a creamy texture and the perfect flavor balance of key ingredients. It’s true, beer cheese just isn’t beer cheese without a bit of heat, but our mild offers the best flavors with a pleasant kick. Beer Cheese 101.
Hot Beer Cheese
Oh, you’re ready to step it up a notch? Well, come on then. Call it a crowd pleaser, call it spicy, call it award-winning, but don’t call the fire house. This is a respectable heat, thank you very much.
The Scoop
Heat the way heat was intended: just enough to enhance the flavors and creamy texture. Don’t be intimidated by the kick, it’s an approachable heat. It’ll leave you wanting more.

Bourbon Beer Cheese
We respect beer cheese and the time-honored tradition of it’s origins, but we thought maybe just a little bit of bourbon couldn’t hurt. And what a hit!
The Scoop
Olivia’s Bourbon Beer Cheese features slightly tamed heat, richer, deeper flavor with a touch of maltiness and other hints of our Bluegrass state’s signature spirit, bourbon: a taste of vanilla, a dash of woody sweetness, a hint of caramel. Two delicious Kentucky traditions married to one another. A match made in heaven.
And while we may have to keep the brand of bourbon a family secret, trust us, it’s a quality selection chosen for its excellent flavor profile. We’d drink it straight up.
Rye Whiskey Beer Cheese
Our Rye Whiskey beer cheese is what we like to call our dark horse flavor, especially for bourbon-loving Kentuckians. Rye? Sacrilege! Well, not so fast.
The Scoop
Give it a try and you’ll find a bold intensity of flavor as the key ingredients are enhanced by the boldness of the rye. Olivia’s Rye Whiskey Beer Cheese offers full flavor from the first taste and finishes with well-rounded flavors and just a hint of heat. You’ll be pleasantly surpryesed.
Smoke Beer Cheese
Who doesn’t love a nice smoky flavor? Smoked ribs, smoked chicken, smoked bacon…smoky notes add a richness and depth of flavor and this one stands alone as a hearty cheese flavor anyone could love. Don’t be fooled, this smokehouse flavor has subtleties even the most seasoned connoisseur could flip for.
The Scoop
The intensity of heat in Olivia’s Smoke Beer Cheese hovers just between hot and mild with special flavors and spices to round it out. It’s everything you never knew beer cheese could be. It’s smokin’.
Seasonal Beer Cheese
We’ve always been inspired by craft brewers who can take the unique flavors of a season or inspiration and surprise us with beers that are complex and refined. And we love that kind of delicious innovation. Olivia’s Seasonal Beer Cheese offerings are crafted with our customers in mind, and each one means a new and, we think, mouthwatering result. The art of flavor, without pretension.

We couldn’t pass up a chance to make a craft beer cheese blend of our own in partnership with them, featuring their much-lauded West Sixth IPA. A crafty beer, a sharp cheese, quite intuitive.
