Beer Cheese & Mac

Son, daughter and I enjoyed this one but we've had other mac and cheeses we've enjoyed a bit more. Still this was quiet good. Cheeses were smoked Gouda, extra sharp cheddar and cream cheese. Liquid was half-and-half and amber beer. There was also shichimi togarashi (a Japanese spice). Damaris noted that it might be hard to find so she suggested using cayenne pepper, black pepper, sesame seeds, orange peel, and ground ginger instead which is what I did.
