Step 1
In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and onion, season generously with salt and black pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes.
Step 2
Add the beer, stock, vinegar, cane syrup, and greens and bring to a boil, then turn the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the greens are wilted and tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, season to taste with salt, black pepper, and hot sauce, and serve.
