    1       ea           Bottle light beer 12 oz
    1       lb           Vermont cheddar white
    1       lb           New york cheddar orange
                         Pinch of cayenne pepper

        Melt the butter in heavy soup pot. Add the diced celery,

      Add flour and cook, stirring, over low heat an additional 2
      minutes. Add the broth and beer. Bring to a simmer very slowly
      so vegetables become tender, about 15-20 minutes, stirring
      occasionally. Over low heat, gradually add the cheeses,
      whisking all the time, until smooth. Season with cayenne, black
      pepper and salt. Continue cooking over low heat until heated
      through. Do not boil, or soup will separate.
