Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl with a rubber spatula, mix together the cheeses until they are well combined. There should be very few visible pieces of Camembert or Brie after this mixing.

Step 2

Mix in the onion and about half of the chives until they are evenly dispersed throughout the mixture.

Step 3

Add paprika, salt, and pepper and mix until the spread is a consistent color.

Step 4

Add beer, a splash at a time, until the spread is the texture you are looking for. I aim for a consistency that is dippable, but not runny.

Step 5

Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour and up to four hours.

Step 6

To serve, stir the spread and top with the rest of the chives. You can also add a sprinkle of crunchy salt or fresh pepper.
