Bierkäse cheese, also known as Weisslacker, which translates to 'Whitewash' in German, or simply Beer cheese, originated in Germany but is also produced in the United States. It is made from cow's milk and is characterized by its strong aroma and mild flavour, reaching its peak when aged for seven months in highly humid conditions.

Bierkäse cheese is a popular ingredient in various breads, soups, and dips. It is often enjoyed alongside beer, sometimes even being dipped directly into the beverage. It pairs well with wine and is typically served on small slices of rye or pumpernickel bread with sliced onions.
