Instructions

Prepare all the necessary ingredients.
In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Incorporate flour, salt, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce. Cook and stir until the mixture is smooth and bubbly, approximately 5 minutes.
Take the saucepan off the heat. Gradually stir in milk, then return to the heat and continuously stir until the mixture boils. Slowly add beer and continue to cook and stir for 1 minute.
Melt Cheddar cheese into the mixture in small portions, ensuring it is fully incorporated. Position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Toast bread slices on one side. Place them on a baking sheet with the untoasted side facing upwards.
Evenly spoon cheese sauce over the untoasted side of each toast.
Broil under the preheated broiler until the cheese sauce is bubbly and has a golden color, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
