Hot cheese with beer added? The Joy of Cooking, p.242, has the recipe for this most traditional of dishes …
IN PRAISE OF THE RARE WELSH
rarebit or rabbit? who would know 
the way to spell or to pronounce
what comes from no grand chateau
and always lacks a rabbit’s meat
a dish that’s made with ale or beer
but must contain aged yellow cheese
the first will give a sense of cheer
the second adds that tangy taste
some cooks prefer to use rich cream
with mustard and a touch cayenne
which version may appear supreme
but surely adds avoirdupois
beer or cream make a fat tit-bit
that could become a Welsh rabbit
