While the beans are simmering, heat a large skillet. Mince the bacon and cook it until it begins to crisp. Add the onions and garlic and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add all the spices and the ground Poblanos and cook another 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juice and the beer. Simmer for half an hour.
In another pan, cook the beef until the pink color disappears. Drain and add it to tomato mixture.
