I posted this here in 2004. We ate this at the Rock Bottom Brewery in
downtown Minneapolis, MN. They had (have?) wonderful cheese dip made with
Asiago cheese. The waiter was kind enough to give me the recipe for the dip
and the bread they served with it. Delicious!

Rock Bottom Brewery Asiago Cheese Dip

4 oz. sundried tomatoes
4 minced green onions
4 oz. button mushrooms, thinly sliced
6 oz. shredded asiago cheese
3 oz. cream cheese
1 qt. sour cream
1 c. mayonnaise
[personally I'd add a clove or two of minced garlic]

Place sundried tomatoes in a bowl and cover with hot water. Soak until
completely soft (about 4 hours); drain and julienne. Add chopped onions,
mushrooms and shredded asiago cheese.

In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise and cream cheese. Blend
well. Place together with the asiago mixture in a double boiler and stir
occasionally until cheese is thoroughly melted.

It was served with beer bread, recipe follows:

Rock Bottom Beer Bread

1/3 oz. salt
1/2 oz. baking powder
1/5 lb. grated cheddar cheese
1/5 lb. sugar
1/8 lb. diced sweet red peppers
1/8 lb. chopped scallions
2 cups lager beer

Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix in cheese, peppers and
onions. Add 1-1/2 c. beer; mix well. Add remaining 1/2 c. beer and combine
thoroughly. Bake in a preheated 300F degree oven for 1 hour.

NOTE: This recipe does not specify forming the loaf into a long thin
baguette-like shape, but that is what they do at the Rock Bottom. When
ready to serve, they cut it into thin slices, brushed with melted butter and
then lightly toasted. Served with the dip, it is fantastic!
