Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots, onion, and celery. Cook until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Add flour and coat vegetables, cook an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add ground mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, beer and stir to make a paste. Slowly begin adding chicken broth while constantly stirring to blend well.
Bring to a simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Using an immersion blender or food processor, puree vegetables in the soup.
Whisk in heavy whipping cream and cheddar cheese over medium-low heat until cheese is melted. If soup is not thickened, mix cornstarch and cold water in a small dish and whisk into boiling soup.
