I have a friend who makes his own beer and even grows his own hops. One year about this time he brewed a Pumpkin Ale. When it was ready he started drinking it and having weird, psychedelic dreams at night. He ended up dumping it out - about 4 gallons.The rest of us called dumping the batch alcohol abuse, but then again we weren't having his dreams.
So lemme see. Here's a list I've compiled for people's phobias:

am I missing anyone?
Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup
1/2 lb. bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
3 celery ribs, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
4 cups milk
3/4 pound grated white cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon Tabasco Sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
Salt, and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup warm beer
chopped scallions or chives, for garnish
1. In a 4- or 5-quart Dutch oven, cook the bacon, stirring over medium heat about 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.
2. Add the red onion, celery, and butter, and saute until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes over medium heat. Whisk in the chicken stock and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the milk and continue to simmer for 15 minutes. Do not boil after you add the milk.
5. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese, Tabasco, Worcestershire, slat and pepper until the cheese is melted and the soup is smooth. Stir in warm beer. If the soup is too thick, add some warm milk.
6. Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped scallions or chives.
Personal note: Use a really nicely aged cheddar and a good beer.
