For a richer flavor, use a darker beer such as a stout or porter. If you don't have bacon on hand, you can substitute with cooked ham or pancetta. Garnish with additional crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, or chopped chives for a beautiful presentation. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
