1. Melt the butter in a pan and stir in the flour.
2. Gradually add the brown ale, whisking until smooth.
3. Stir in the grated cheddar and keep stirring over low heat until you have a smooth, thick paste.
4. Add the English mustard and Worcestershire sauce, and season with pepper.
5. Toast the bread and spread the cheese mixture on thickly.
6. Grill for 2-3 minutes until bubbling and blistered brown.
Tip: This is not just cheese on toast: cooking the cheese into a beer-based sauce is what makes it silky and savoury. Milk works instead of ale.
