Method
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the grated onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the flour and mustard and cook, whisking constantly, until a bubbly, thick roux forms, about 2 minutes. Continuing to whisk constantly, slowly pour in the beer. Slowly pour in the cream and whisk until the sauce thickens a bit further, about 5 minutes.
Add both cheeses and whisk until melted and smooth. Stir in the salt, pepper, and Tabasco. Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired.
Serve with apples, soft pretzels, and/or kielbasa alongside.
