Steps:
- Cook the chorizo, stirring, in a medium skillet or a flameproof gratin dish over medium-high heat until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and pour off any excess rendered fat, reserving about 1 tablespoon in the pan. If there is less than 1 tablespoon, add enough olive oil to make 1 tablespoon.
- Reduce the heat to medium and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, until the flour is golden, 1 minute. Pour in the beer and bring to a boil. Stir in the chopped jalapenos and pickling juice and cook 2 minutes. Gradually add the milk, whisking, and bring to a gentle boil until thickened, about 1 minute. Add the cheeses and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cheese fully melts, about 3 minutes. Stir in the reserved chorizo. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with the cilantro and serve warm with dippers.

CHORIZO CON QUESO
This is the best con Queso dip I've ever had. I got it from a great cookbook by a man named Grady Spears. I guarantee once you try this you will be a fan of his too.

Steps:
- Warm the oil in a heavy saucepan over med heat.
- Add the sausage and cook for 2 minutes, or until the fat begins to melt.
- Add the onion and garlic.
- Cook until the chorizo is well browned.
- Drain off the grease and add the tomato, chile, and stock.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and slowly add the cheese, blending with a spoon.
- As each batch of cheese melts, add more, cooking over very low heat.
- When the cheese has melted and the mixture comes together, it is ready to serve.
- Keep warm while serving.
- Note 1- serve with tortillas or fresh tortilla chips.
- Note 2- you COULD use canned pre-roasted poblanos, but roasting one yourself is really simple.
- Take a poblano chili, rub with a bit of corn oil, put under the broiler and let it cook until the skin starts to char.
- Turn it over and continue this way until the skin is charred all over.
- Take it out (with tongs!) and put in a plastic zip-lock bag and let it sit until cool.
- Remove the chile and the skin will peel right off, then tear it open and remove the seeds and stems.
- It's that simple.
- Just like roasting a bell pepper.
