3. Remove from oven and brush one side of the bacon with the beer syrup. Flip, and coat the other side with the syrup as well. Return to oven and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and repeat process another time or two more, until bacon is crispy and browned, and you’ve used all the glaze.
4. Cool on wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving.

This stuff is addicting. The first time I made it using Raspberry Lambic & cracked black pepper. Makes for killer BLT’s! The second time I used a green chile beer and Hatch Chile Bacon. Took it over the top!
