INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the shallot, jalapeño, poblano pepper, and bell pepper, and cook 5 minutes, until fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook until golden, about 2 minutes, then gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Add the broth, beer, paprika, thyme, and a large pinch each of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, until thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the cheese until melted and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
