Sweetbaby's Cheddar Beer Cheesecake

CRUST
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sweet butter, melted butter (to grease pan)

FILLING
2 lbs cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup beer
1 1/3 cups shredded (grated) cheddar cheese
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, slightly whipped

Preheat oven to 450 Degrees F. For crust, combine crumbs with melted
butter. Press on bottom and sides of a buttered 8-inch spring-form
pan. For filling, beat softened cream cheese until soft. Beat in
sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add
lemon juice, beer, and cheese. Mix thoroughly. Fold in cream. Pour
into crust. Bake in preheated 450 Degree F oven 7 or 8 minutes. Reduce
heat to 300 Degrees F. for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until center is set
(cake will be golden in color). Do not remove from oven. Turn the oven
off and allow the cake to remain in the oven with the door ajar to let
heat out slowly. Remove from oven and cool. Chill before serving.
