I'm not a big fan of beer, but I really enjoyed these mac and cheese cups. The beer flavor was subtle and it didn't overpower the cheese.

I thought the mac and beer cheese cups were just okay. They were easy to make, but the flavor was a little bland. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of beer.
