The latest Bacon-Flavor Brews

Nothing permeates the air and causes a knowing in one's stomach quite like the sweet scent of sizzling bacon. So it's easy to understand why cooks across the country put bacon on sandwiches, crumble it on top of baked potatoes and also wrap meat in it. The newest bacon craze comes not as a meal, but as a brew.
The beer can be made by some different methods. One of them involves mixing aged ale with lumps of bacon fat, freezing the fat into a solid and then filtering it out so the beer retain the salty-smoky flavor sans visible chunks. Another method involves suspending oven-dried bacon in pale ale.
But however you make it, the majority would agree that bacon and beer are two great tastes - if they taste great together, even better.
