DIRECTIONS

Heat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, mix the crab meat with the cream cheese, sour cream, beer, chili paste, mustard, and garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. Mix in ¾ of both the cheese and the scallions and transfer to a small baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese and bake until bubbling, about 8 minutes. Change the oven to the broil setting and continue cooking until the cheese is golden, 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with the remaining scallions and serve with crackers or (and!?) tortilla chips.
