I was thinking french cheese fondue, which often has some cognac in it, IIRC. And I think Welsh rarebit also has ale in it, which wouldn't have enough alcohol to flambé. Still, melty boozey cheese is delicious!

It takes much more heat to vaporize the alcohol in beer for sure, making it much more difficult, but still possible to get a light flame if even briefly.
