  • Place carrots, onion, celery, and garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in hot pepper sauce, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Pour in chicken broth and beer; simmer until vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Stir flour into melted butter with a wire whisk; cook and stir until flour is light brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Gradually stir in milk, whisking to prevent scorching, until thickened. Remove from heat and gradually stir in cheese. Cover to keep warm.
